Honest, I took very similar pictures at the de Young a few months ago, using my Oly E-pl1 and 20mm Panasonic. Beautiful glass and colors. Thank goodness for in-body IS.  I did not have my SD10 with...

My point in referring to Lin's observation, which he did not describe as a test, was that David sets up some strange approaches to issues, which he may or may not recognize himself. David wants to...

Umm. Well. I like the pictures better? It seems simple enough, really. Richard

To begin, I would refer to a post from above, in which you suggest that even if Lin is right (in his comparison of a Nikon image and a DPxM image...) you do not accept the results because it does...

Yes. This is a traditional approach, and not a bad one. I still have the Contax G2 and lenses. As for distance scale? What's all the whining about?

Thank you Raist. I think you helped me make my point. Some folks (like the OP) really like their Sigma camera(s), and they think the images are better than from any (reasonably equivalent...)...

And I think we (meaning all of us...) can say it is "good," not bad, when someone is excited or pleased with a camera and they enjoy using it. Even if they have what "we" (meaning a few people who...

The fighting: Diolus is a troll, and others, for reasons only they understand, propose that he has some "right" to post his troll-ish comments. Personally, I propose that if he really does not like...

Did you look up the quote? The image was in one sense a challenge to the OP and to the camera, and they passed the challenge/test. If the OP was satisfied with the image than it matter little...

Like the picture???? Roland, you miss the point altogether: This is in the nature of Samuel Johnson's comment about dogs walking on their hind legs, which you might do well to look up.  Richard

What I find disturbing is that you continue to defend trolls. The post from diolus, most likely not his real name, was nothing but meanness. It was not criticism, except in the sense of being...

Great images. I like how you used that focal length.  Richard

If David and you have not figured it out yet, Cedo is our troll Ron, etc., reborn. Trying to "defend" his views on Foveon and Sigma is comical. Getting all in a huff about his right to post...

Back to picking fights with Kendall, Ron? You just can't resist, can you?

And you don't have to show us your tests?

David, you are heading into  some strange territory here. Ron et al, is a "real" person all right. One real person for all those names.

Thanks, Cedo. And thanks to David too.  It's good to know I am having some effect.  Preaching (and posting) about what (other) people "need" is just nonsense, for several reasons. As I understand...

Yes, and all of the above, too. DM has been making this argument for years now, trying to "prove" (for some reason) that the additional resolution of the Foveon sensor is either an illusion or...

Wow, Kahn, you sure are perceptive and helpful. This is an important contribution to your body of work. Thanks for doing all this to expose these defects in the Sigma world. I am sure you deserve a...

Thanks for posting. I like it. Richard
