Post your Sigma DPx images!

[LeicaFoReVer]

Well I see that after micro 4/3 cameras came out, DPx cameras are forgotten!! It should not happen as there is no other digital camera with such bw image quality thanks to foveon sensor...Please post your photos to in praise to those cameras!

I have just got my DP1s today from the RFF member Chase! I have been dreaming this camera but it was damn expensive 1-1.5 years ago...now quite a bargain!

I do like the black and white images I've seen from these little Sigmas ... that's really nice!

I have one that is mostly sitting idle now. It's just too slow processing each shot. But the B&W quality is wonderful when I do have the patience.

So when shooting one of these things are you saying that each shot takes several seconds to process before you can take the next?

[trisberg]

Yes, it takes about 6 seconds before you can trip the shutter again. I don't use the auto-focus, instead relying on zone focusing. The DP1 is great for this with a dedicated focus wheel that is easy to use. But the shot-to-shot time is a major pain.

Here is another one:

How about one in color? Taken last week in Nova Scotia.

I have been seriously considering a DP1s for about a month now but I'm still on the fence. I do like the look of the b&w photos that have been posted so far. Keep posting 'em LeicaForever and Trisberg. Convince me I should pull the trigger

[LeicaFoReVer]

well the colors are quite muted, yes it gives a natural look but personally I prefer bw...

[LeicaFoReVer]

well definitely not a street shooter but come on, it can be a great portrait lens on the street...

Here's one showing just how good the sensor/lens combo on the DP2 is. I haven't managed to produce anything this sharp and lifelike with my GF1.

very nice!

CR did you do post processing on the first image? My DP1 give quite muted colors...

[C_R]

Thank you - yes, colors come out a bit dull from X3F files, I dont remember exactly but I guess it was PP with ACR / CS3. Sometimes I push the colors a bit in LAB mode

[cmdrzed]

I finally made a decision and purchased a DP1s while they were in stock and cheap at Amazon.

[LeicaFoReVer]

please do so It is a great little thing!

Here are two snaps from my DP2-S, which I haven't been able to use as much as I'd like.

RAW files do take 5-6 seconds to store. Haven't tried JPEG's yet to know if they take less time.

There's an option in the DP2-S, and I think in any earlier cameras upgraded to the current firmware, to stop the autofocus from searching in the first meter. This both speeds up the AF and makes it a bit quieter. In either case, the Sigma's autofocus is considerably faster than my manual focusing, on any camera.

These were loaded into Sigma's software and then saved, with no processing. I may have cropped them; can't recall.

This one was taken with a DP1s. I must admit, I have a soft spot for that camera. It is quirky, true, but I do not have the impression that I have explored it to its' fullest potential. My major problem is composing through the LCD. I do not like that. Maybe I will get a 28mm viewfinder. f4 too slow? Hint: flash socket.

Some great shots here! now I'm really torn, just put my M8 up for sale and cannot decide between a DP1s or an Oly E-PL1, anybody own both have any views between the two?
