Something a little different along with a heavy crop. Handheld on a boat, although is was pretty calm.

Would of rather shot my d800 in this situation but I think the sigma handled the challenging light well. The colors seem very rich. Even though the nikon would have dug into the shadows better.

From a recent camping trip to the Niedersachsen farm in the Khomas area, Windhoek, Namibia...
Really dry... This is the farm where the two German geologists, Henno Martin and Hermann Korn, had their last hide out during their efforts to avoid arrest during WW2.

I have truly enjoyed the Sigma DP2M and has become my landscape camera. There are times when the D800e enters my mind especially when I have to stitch multiple images to gain a wider perspective. But once I zoom in to 100% when processing my images, the details are so amazing that thoughts of the D800e slowly fades away.

Here are some recent shots taken by the DP2M

Found a nifty little workflow using the new version of Iridient Developer and PhotoNinja. Accidentally posted this in the DP1M thread as I shot both on this trip.

Nice shot!
Care to share the workflow?
Though, I can only dream of Iridient Developer, as I am on a PC, sigh...

I don't see the "green vignetting" in the latest version of Iridient Developer, it also seems to handle the magenta/green blotches better. I just do basic exposure adjustments there, try to get the color close, etc. I then save as TIFF and open in PhotoNinja. Change the Base Style to Scenic in the Color Enhancement section. Now, the next part is hard to explain if you haven't used PhotoNinja. I pick the Magenta color in the Color Enhancement section and set the Reference Hue to 4. This seems to pick up most of what's left of any magenta blotchiness, and then I desaturate it. I also do more exposure and color balance fine tuning. Also add a small amount of Noise Ninja processing. The results are IMHO spectacular and must less painful than SPP.

At the moment you can get all DP Merills new for 449€ at fotobrenner.de. Interesting offer.

yea great deal on the cameras right now, I got mine when it was announced and paid a little over $1000 with tax. Still thought that was a fair price with the iq it provides. People always say this camera is only amazing at lower iso's which is true, but still usable at higher iso's. (Just like medium format, except cheaper)

check amazon.com...can get the sigma dp123 for about $570 including shipping - and prices are dropping so may be worth waiting another week or two

Out of a marketing perspective, I am puzzled with Sigma's pricing. Consumers don't complain over 3K for a Sony RX1 because it has a Zeiss sticker on it, knowing the lens is made by Cosina.

Sigma tried to improve its reputation by putting together a world class lens with a unique sensor. I guess they choose the 1K price proint after their experiece with their Sigma SD1 pricing. It is a very low price for this level of technolog and image output. The camera output is not far behind a Nikon D800e with the best lens.
The Sigma DP2M lens is better

Reviving old comment. Hey, Sigma actually listened to you. You wrote that Sigma made a mistake with cheap brick look. So that is why new Sigma DP2 Quattro is of so non-brick shape. :-)
