I chose Sigma because...

[xectis]

Hello all,

I simply wanted to state my reason for wanting to choose Sigma (looking for a DP1 for now) as my mostly only camera, even with all of its 'quirks': I never follow the sheep herd as Sigma has not either...and the camera lens of course.

Welcome, Xectis.
Good luck in your search. Nowadays DP1's are quite cheap and a good starting point to feel how the Foveon sensor works.
Look forward to see your samples.
Regards.
Jes.

Hi

try to get a DP1s, not the older DP1. It is worth it.

Best wishes

Fully agree. And also get a HA11 tube and a matching UV filter. The DPxx family is known by not being sealed at the lens/body junction. I've seen some DP1 and DP2 with dust in the sensor. Not easy to remove. Better to prevent.

Regards.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Although I've seen a very cheap DP1 I will take the advice to get the DP1s instead.
