That looks like a bicycle handle (but not as bad as their LCD viewer) that seems to match the bottle opener design of the Quatro.Is this what SIGMA users wanted as a "grip" ??
In spite of my posting above, I'm actually quite positive. This model could, if the optical quality is stellar, be the most useful one in the series for me. I see a great potential for industrial interiors, which is one of the things I do, as an alternative to carrying my Nikon and a 20mm lens. The alternative would be a Sony A7r with some great 20/21mm, but that would be much more expensive and not really much more compact.OK, I must be in the minority here.
This is a dream come true. I would love an ultra wide-angle Foveon camera.
Might just make me jump on the DPQ bandwaggon.

But it would be a lot more versatile.The alternative would be a Sony A7r with some great 20/21mm, but that would be much more expensive and not really much more compact.
It would, but that goes for all fixed lens vs. interchangeable lens comparisons. If the quality of the new Sigma approaches that of a Zeiss 21mm, the price of the Sony/Zeiss combination is 4 times as high as the Sigma, if the Sigma price is at the same level as the other Quattros. It would basically mean that one could buy all four Sigmas for the price of one A7r with one lens.But it would be a lot more versatile.
I suppose on a tripod, bracketing to take care of the limited dynamic range, it might work, assuming good light to limit purple blotching, but with a probable 50mp A7 in the pipeline, there are better options. I'd rather use a DP2m or DP3m and stitch.
True, but who wants to carry around 4 separate cameras this shape and size? The Merrills are smaller and there are only three.It would, but that goes for all fixed lens vs. interchangeable lens comparisons.
