  • Yes it does. Luis posted a pic of the SD1 with the mount removed and the switch circled in this thread: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/41111822 When Alexander T converted the SD1 to EOS mount...
  • Arvo had me to use Process Monitor to capture a logfile of SPP trying to save a JPG from an X3F. He was able to examine the logfile to determine why SPP was failing to save the JPG. Apparently that...
  • Arvo successfully diagnosed the cause of my problem. :-) I just needed to delete the files in this folder: "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Temp\" The problematic file in my case was named...
  • Replied in Ever resolved?
    Yup. Your machine behaves exactly like mine. Welcome to the club.;-)
  • Replied in Ever resolved?
    Thanks for the suggestions Sandy. I have double checked those settings, every time I reinstall SPP in fact. No luck still.I have 2 other machines, both laptops, one also running win7 64 bit and the...
  • Replied in Ever resolved?
    I thought I was the ​only​ one with this problem until you chimed in.:-)I have tried everything I know. I have uninstalled SPP and then opened regedit and deleted everything that mentions Sigma,...
  • Replied in Ever resolved?
    No, this issue has not been resolved. I still have this problem with all versions of SPP. I cant understand why SPP will open a .TIF and save it as a .JPEG but it won't process or convert a .JPEG...
  • You are right, I usually don't post unless I feel like I can be helpful. Unfortunately, those times are few and far between around here. I am strictly a hobbyist photographer and truthfully not a...
  • Replied in Stripes
    You feel intimidated by me? I have no power over you, believe me I am not a threat to anyone. You are of course correct that I have no right to demand anything from you, but when you make an easily...
  • Replied in Stripes
    I do.You have managed to post to these forums 2.91 times a day for the last 5 1/2 years but you you don't have time to back up your claims. Right.You also have no inclination to back up your claims...
  • Replied in Stripes
    It seems to me that you camera may have stripes and you have your suspicions about it. You claim it doesn't, but you get up on your high horse and refuse to back up your claims by providing a...
  • I believe the fill factor of modern sensors with micro lenses is approaching 90% or better so the sensor movement would probably need to be about 1 pixel wide. Probably about double that for a...
  • A few thoughts about your idea to shake the sensor to achieve a controlled blur.The movement would need to be in both the vertical and horizontal directions. These vertical and horizontal movements...
  • It would be useful if this were possible, but unfortunately I believe you are wrong.The color wheel setting can be saved by default but a custom white balance cannot be imported into an X3F after...
  • Instead of zipping and hosting another photographers images maybe you could just post a link to their page instead. Something like this.http://type-g.at.webry.info/201208/article_4.html I'm sure...
  • Replied in 1.4x TC mod
    Jim first posted that the OS doesn't work with the 2x TC. His second follow up post seemed to imply that it was actually the AF that doesn't work with the 2x TC, which should be expected.
  • Replied in 1.4x TC mod
    Not necessarily. I have a Sigma 80-400 lens that was originally SA mount, I converted it to EF mount and the OS works fine with all my Canon bodies. Apparently Canon IS lenses do not stabilize at...
  • Replied in 1.4x TC mod
    Soldering is required unless something has changed recently.I'm not familiar with Boris' video. Got a link to it? I'd like to see it.
  • Replied in 1.4x TC mod
    Yes, it will work.http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/20660913 Just replace the mount and pinset with SA parts.
  • I'm obviously in the minority here but I only buy from retailers that have a restocking fee for returned merchandise. I once bought an expensive lens from B&H that appeared to have been sloppily...
