One from Camaquey, Cuba.

I took my 5D3 with 21 mm Distagon and 24-105 L along with my DP2M to a local viewpoint, the Tour de Brison, here in the Ardeche yesterday to photograph recent snowfall on the Tanargue massif. I mounted the cameras on my RRS tripod and BH55 head and proceeded to record the scene. having some time I was able to try various apertures and some bracketing for later tonemapping as the DR was way high. I am currently evaluating the utility of my DSLR set up in view of the increasingly excellent results that I can obtain from much more portable options and I was interested to review the resultant images. Main conclusion? The 24-105 ( even though I feel it is a 'good' copy) just cannot live in the company of the Distagon or the Sigma. Softness, CA and muddy colours are what I see at all focal lengths in comparison to these two paragons. I'm no further forward in my decision regarding my DSLR ownership but I dont see myself using the 24-105 again for, well, much, maybe I'll give it to my kids.... What I did see is that the DP2M stands up very well against the 5D3/21mm Distagon in terms of edge to edge sharpness and lack of CA at all apertures. And I reckon the DP2M weighs less than the Distagon on it's own! I did see some green /magenta funkiness however, but nothing I can't live with.

Wow. All the graves are above ground? Weird!

it's common in places below sea level/with a high water table (e.g. new orleans).

Very interesting. I have never been to a place like that. Sure makes for a cluttered looking cemetery. I wonder if they have theft "problems".

Jim Woodman, thanks a lot for the kind words!

Two shot stich from Holguin, Cuba.

Fixed.

I went from using a 5D2 plus lenses to a Sony RX100, then the RX1.
I could not believe the images from small cameras and wanted to explore this further.
Got a DP2M on Saturday, charged the battery and went out. This is from a local farm, camera settings as they came, except Portrait profile. SPP conversion to jpeg.
I cannot believe the colour or spatial resolution of this camera. Time to get a DP3M

I thought: what great colours. But... Ricoh GRX?

Ricoh

It is a pitty you quoted the picture as well, Carsten. To correct that I have to mess up my file system. Will you be so kind to delete the picture. Thank you!

Thanks!

is this the right place for DP3 images?

Amplexis,
It looks like you used a flash with those photos. Which unit and what settings?

i used a Nikon SB-28 with a diffuser cap @ 1/4 power. it is on the end of a macro arm so the light is about 45°
i love that the SD Merrill cameras have the leaf shutter so i can sync at a 1/2000s and not have bad lighting ruin the picture.
