![]() The DP1 was quite neutral except for an occasional tendency to go magentaĤ) Green edges. My SD9 is too yellow, my SD14 too green/yellow. I find Foveon has a tendency to overly yellow/orange foliage in warm light and tends to blow reds very easily giving a flourescent radioactive look and also hue shifting to magenta or orangeģ) Colour casts. Every version of SPP and every new Sigma camera yields a different colour response. I've been looking at a lot of images from the new sensor and it still seems very obvious to me.Ģ) Funky colour. Lot's of people seem oblivious to this but to me it's one of the biggest trademarks of digital imaging. The new sensor seems no different: there are always visible jaggies on things like angled grass stems. This has always been there, given the absence of an AA filter. For me it will be a perfect colour street camera, landscape and B&W phototool but, on humans, my primary camera will stay my D700 and my Zeiss (for now ^^ I wait a firmware).ĮDIT: The camera can now be used as a portrait camera by using the PS routine above.Īs a long time Foveon user (SD9, SD14, DP1), my reservations about the technology have always been:ġ) Luminance aliasing. It contribute to the "effort" let say But I really want to see a 24x36 foveon one day. There is some flaws at this young technology but it is promising it is why I continue to buy it. This camera is a very good camera if we like to be purist, to take our time to compose, seeking a soul in our shoots. This work and give perfect skin colours/transitions. # Because of the above I think (for portraiture) this camera will be Black and White only (If you play with shadows, like me).ĮDIT: The problem can be fixed via PP in PS by going in hue Red +5 and Yellow -15. At the transitions zones, the skin turn in a variation of green and red. # Shadow transition problems on human skin. # Banding when using Nik Software Silver Efex, in some ways. # Not good above ISO 100 (I'm harsh but that's my exigences). Some examples just for the eyes no pp applied and OFC no sharpening applied: The image is just and pleasing (this is a big evolution in SIGMA digital world, trust me). # When correctly exposed, no really need of any PP. # The overall output at this focal is better than what can produce the SD1m (Amen to the dedicated marvellous lens). I almost never need to tweak it on a single view. # The white balance might be not very consistent BUT she is very just. # The colour output is really film like, using also a lot of film (and building a large stock of Kodak. Richard Merrill and his team really did something to the photography and this is not marketing just facts. # The sensor is what I qualify as a photo revolution, a real. # You can screw the lens hood over the filter, so it protect the filter too because the hood is sort of square windowed as you can see above. It is why I protect it with a Helioplan UV SH-PMC 49 x 0,75. # The lens is just awesome, coming from some Zeiss on my D700 and some use of a S2. It is very user friendly, pure and simple. # What I like with the DP, being a former DP user since the DP1, is the ergonomic, yes. And I recoup almost ALL your "thumbnail sketch of the good, bad and the ugly" despite some little variations and here is my own little return: I have my camera since the 11 of this month. Hello Quentin, ( first I want to say I'm very happy to be on Luminous Landscape, it is a quality place populated with quality people, a real heaven coming from DPr or french forums.
