  • Created discussion Sigma Flare
    I don't know if this has been discussed already, but I couldn't find a thread that talks about this "issue"   I was trying to do a side by side comparison with my Canon 5D MK2 with the 17/40 f/4...
  • do we have to purchase the dock separately? or are they going to mail it to us?
  • I meant as I'm going to put this on my canon camera, just checking to see if the AF is gonna be an issue...
  • Do any of you have AF issues? for example, constantly having to change the AFMA (auto focus micro adjustment) to make it perfectly sharp? If that's the case, this can be a major issue for this...
  • Commented on What's new @ CES 2013 article

    people still can make decent prints off of compact cameras. Phones still can't really compare just yet...

  • Commented on Fujifilm X100S First Look preview

    Only thing I care about that nobody mentioned on this one: Sticky Aperture Fix, and Manual Focus. They both sucked big time on the X100

  • wow that is annoying as hell... Why is the raw file insanely contrasty, awfully balanced? It is to my experience that ACR shows you the original files, whichout any color modification nor any post...
  • Created discussion Sigma Photo Pro 5
    So I'm trying to replicate the color when you click on a X3F file, and for that split second of loading, it has one of the most pleasing, natural, sharp coloring that I want all my X3F files to...
  • I have not uploaded my pics, due to work being so busy at this time.
  • Well, they should say starting Jan 16, all NEW photos will be used. That way, it's up to the users to take down their own things..

  • damn, makes me wish I purchased the DP-2M instead of the DP-1M... but I really wanted the FOV of the DP-1M for my landscapes...
  • I Brought my 5D mark 2, along with my Sigma DP-1M with me to take some shots of Zion National. Though I didn't get to visit the infamous Subway this time around (It's probably closed anyways, due...
  • the second pic yes, first pic, doesn't seem anything special... in fact, my ex-hand hel Fuji X100 could out perform the first one. (I have a DP1M now)But not the second shot. That second shot is...
  • So I just got myself a circular polarizer. Where in my optical viewfinder, I would usually be able to tell the polarization with the darkened areas. But now with this, I can't tell at all! It looks...
  • Yes, the X100 was an amazing, convenient, feature-rich camera. It was quick also, and the battery lasted all weekend.But this is my first foveon sensor. I want to see the limitations and the...
  • it is to my understanding that 3 chip CCD's has existed for a while. They stack a red, green, blue sensor (albeit CCD) just like what a foveon does with their CMOS sensors.I remember reading that...
  • Wow... I am so lucky. I just "stumbled" onto the deal, because I've been selling my X100 all of october and through november, until I finally got a buyer monday night. Even Then, I didn't buy one....
  • I'm going to be getting my DP1M soon, any advice on the filters/lens hoods? I'm gonna stay away from Sigma's since a CPL is impossible to move with it on according to the reply above... (though...
  • any suggestions? Adorama has their own, but the filter steps down to 46mm... which is odd... So the camera lens has filter threads?What hood to recommend? B+W?
  • Created discussion DP-1M Filter Info..
    does the default DP1M take any filters? What size? Or do I need the LH1-01 hood to have a filter thread?
