Case of Sigma, DP3 Merrill, SPP 5.5

Did I suggest you stop posting? Did I say I was upset? Did I say you shouldn't post on this forum? Did I suggest you were in my way? Whatever that means? Sensitive? Apparently yes.

Meanwhile, you seem to have ignored the point of my post which was that the colors in all the images we have seen so far seem to have been produced by people in the grip of rather dark emotions, and even darker skies, or maybe the other way around. Harsh and uninviting may be expressing your feelings, but how much of that is based on the extreme sharpness of the lens combined with the available and natural (blue-ish) lighting in many of the images? And then we have others, not you, complaining about skin tones in the (darker) images?

Maybe they should only allow cheerful springtime images when they introduce a new camera? Brightly lit flowers and babies and birds? Then people would probably complain that the lenses lack character and don't "draw" well.
