Sigma/Foveon picture thread...

dirojas, thanks for the link! The manual focus looks MUCH better than the X100's, but I'll miss the wheel as well. There's no pop-up flash either, but I never used the one on my DP2 anyways.

Why is it that when Fuji, Nikon, Canon or anybody else announce a new camera it's available for pre-order the same day on Amazon, Adorama, etc. but never with Sigma? I can't even find a M.S.R.P.! I can't wait to get my hands on one of these!

Nice view at your office window. Wonderful shades in the picture.

Here is a couple recent pictures of my DP2... Just to keep this thread alive while waiting for the Merrill series. Regards

GAS ... has finally taken its toll ... the SD1 Merrill found its way to me :cool:

Just a few steps out of the door I captured this "hibiscus" with the 24-70mm 2.8 ... it shows some "hyperactive" bokeh :shocked:

The DP2 Merrill seems to hold up well with conversion to BW:

Train House Porch






Chair and Throw

In the UK, they are still scarce. Clifton Cameras has a few, I believe. Elsewhere (in the UK) they are still waiting list items.

I have just ordered one from Clifton Camera. Given I already have a NEX-7, and a RX100, this may seem a tad mad :D but some - just some - of the sample shots I have seen full-size give me cause to beleve it may be capable of outstanding results if handled correctly.

Moreover, if used to capture several images in portait orientation, that might yield a bigger than 30mp stitched file (from, say, 3 shots). That is a 30mp foveon-based image. Now the standard lens focal length of the DP2 Merrill is ideal for stitched images, so I am hopeful I can get great results this way.

Time will tell...:cool:
