No problem! I know in places like where you and I live, if we had to wait for a genuine Sigma charger, it might take a while, and cost a lot. Glad it worked out and you're back to taking photos.

Yup, you're right. And it does work, i've just charged the batteries.
Thanks a lot Marcus, i sorted this out with your help, without even buying or ordering anything new
Internet can be crazy...

I got a comprehensive message full of tips and valuable information from marcus riley some days ago based on the raw file of my last image. He suggested overexposing the image a bit, as Foveon sensor seems to be not doing so favorably with underexposure. Encouraged by this, I went out yesterday and tried 5 different landscape scenes, taking ISO100 images on each and every one. I bracketed every scene -1/0/+1 in aperture priority mode, and even went further to do two with -2/-1/0/+1/+2.

I didn't get the lines visible in any image, as it was afternoon with some light

Two questions please:
1.
where do you guys usually know about Sigma news in first hand?
Any RSS in particular?
I pay attention to http://www.dpreview.com

2.
any more news about the dedicated Black and White workflow (SPP?) from Sigma?

One thought/question more:
It seems that the new Capture One Pro is supporting at last Fuji x-trans files:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/01/14/phase-one%27releases-capture-one-pro-7-02-with-fujifilm-x-trans-support

Why are Sigma and the Foveon sensors ignored (DXO do not test Foveon sensors either).
Technical difficulties? Marquet games?

I have ordered the

"Tamrac A120 Zip Shot Quick Release


To the right at the link below is for the tripod and in the middle for the camera

(at the left is for DSLR.s)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tamrac-A120-grau-Quick-Release/dp/B005E65BK4


You can also see it here:


http://www.zipshottripod.com/ZipShot-Brochure-High-Res.pdf

It just - but perhaps to late ? - went into my mind if this little thing will cover the chamber for the battery, and with the huge askings for new batteries it would be a not quick release anymore , so - if that is the thing ?? - I want to cancell it


I can cancell it today, but not tomorrow, they will ship tomorrow

Does anybody by accident know if this little quick release will cover the chamber for the battery (you can not see the measurement any places - at least I could not find for the release and for the camera)??

I have send a mail to the seller and also to Tamrac, but no answer, and today is last day to cancell.

I know the problems with the tripod, but please forget that.


ADDED - more easy to see here - the last picture to the right:

what's the reason no thread on DP1M? Looks like very few people are buying it. Do you guys own both or just the DP2M? I am thinking eventually i will buy all three...

Not too many DP1M owners out there, it seems.
Not many places have them in stock and I guess many would like to cup a feel before taking the plunge, it isn't cheap.

Tomorrow my DP1M arrives by DHL.
I traded in my excess lenses for a DP1M, a lens (...) and some sundries.

I´m attracted to the DP1M wide lens but everyone says that the DP2M lens is even better.

Yes, expectation is slightly lower on the DP1M lens, at least from my end.

Considering the superb RF and medium format RF wide angles I have had in the past I am expecting a good, perhaps great, but not stellar lens. Samples seem to vary too so hopefully I get a decent copy. I usually don't worry about it, but there is always a risk.

The DP2M sits alright with me but I have always been more of a wideangle guy so I am not sure I will keep the DP2M but I might if I like the DP1M.

I hated the Gorilla (and I had the heavier duty one for DSLRs); it was a hopeless piece of kit.

The Benro "MeFoto" tripod is excellent, and has a decent ball head thrown in—and is not much heaver than the Gorilla, and it packs up very very small.


Kit, do you happen to know if the ballhead that comes with this MeFoto tripod is compatible with the Really Right Stuff bracket for the DP2M? I have the entire bracket on my DP2M and want an arca-swiss style ballhead that is compatible. Obviously, I don't want to use the quick release attachment.

Thanks in advance!

I have both and find the DP1M to be better than I expected given some of the samples I had seen beforehand. For that reason, If someone is just buying one, I recommend doing so based soley on focal length (DP1 M image quality is just as good as DP2 M imo and experience).

Thank you Tariq. Sounds reassuring.
28mm equiv is probably more of my teacup, though I would have LOVED a 18/21mm equiv. DP Merrill I look forward to a (sort of) pocketable high res wide angle option.

I am shopping small bags so I can bring them on my cross country runs without having to wear a running backpack.

I never went wider than 50mm .-)
DP2M is 35mm (equiv.)
DP1M is 28mm (equiv.)
Must decide.

to cjrpostma, from the BHPhotovideo ad for the MeFoto:

An Arca-Swiss style quick release plate is included.

I cannot guarantee this, and someone else might be able to confirm, but I believe the RRS bracket is the same width and profile. A quick email to B&H should confirm this.

P.S., the titanium finish is the only one I'd be comfortable with, and it's the one I have.
