Wow JuJu what a stunning shot, love it. Tim nice shots of the Salton Sea, I need to get back down there one of these days.

thanks Juju and Alan. They keep tearing stuff down at the Salton Sea, things I remember shooting 5 years ago are gone now. I think I will actually head down there this weekend since its finally cooling off.
I just updated my pro photo to 6.6 and it's a huge difference. I find my quattro images are much sharper plus it's a lot better on the blotches. I do find it has change the color though, which I preferred the original colors.
Are any of the DP1/2 Merrill shooters thinking about "upgrading" to the Quattro(s)?
I've had my eye on this thread for some time and the tonality and structure I'm seeing from these photos are pehnom! I had a chance to play with a Quattro (the 50mm equiv I believe) at a Yodabashi in Japan a few months ago. Took the standard shot of the display and salesman, but nothing fancy and telling of the output since I couldn't take the camera home. :P
I've never used a DP Merrill either, but if I were to step foot in the Foevon for the first time, would you recommend one over the other (for any particular reason)? I know the Quattro is defnitely more expensive, so the DP's have that going for them. As far as I know, only one Quattro is out.
Thanks in advance! I hope to post here with photos after I get a Foveon of my own.
DP2 Quattro is out and the DP1 Quattro Has been announced.
I have read that they are not quite as sharp but have better color and resolution.
However I have not used them so hopefully someone that has can add to the discussion.
Might consider renting one.
You could download the sigma software and a few raw files and try out the workflow.
