It doesn't matter to me if indisputable scientific proof is offered that the Sigma 15mp cameras are not equal to MF. I have to ask you, does it matter to you? IF so, why? I feel "So what". If someone proves that the sensor in the these cameras is only 1.5 and not 15, I would not blink an eye. Someone once asked me if I thought the SD1 was equal to MF and I answered "I don't know but what I do know is that it can do very good very large prints. I mean why do people shoot MF and LF if not for prints?

I am offering to make 30x48 prints available for you if you would like to see what the cameras can do at 15mp. Send me your address and I will put you on the list. You could have the prints in about a month. If you are in Europe, email Kendall Gelner and he can put you in touch with whomever has the set there. There is a thread not that old on this forum that will give you the details.

Treat yourself to some real data!!

Good Luck

I just want to add that taking advantage of Rick and Kendall's still-open invitation to participate in the big print tour won't entail a big expense: I forwarded the prints from MI to NM for $5.79 (USPS media postage).

For those still disinclined, take a quick look at my attempt to duplicate on a modest scale (crops photographed with an SD1M) what it’s like to put you nose in front of a 30” x 48” SD1 print.
