Sigma SD9 review

Have been using for over 3 years with 24-70EX and 15-30EX Sigma zooms plus M42 screw lenses, with M42 adapter. Includes Lydith preset 30mm f3.5 (excellent) and old Tamron 85-210 zoom with Adaptall mount for bayonet Pentax - fits perfectl;y and gives high quality too. The more I use this camera, the more knocked-out I am at its film-like high quality definition and tonal gradation. I use for my B+W prints, to average 13"x19", which I happily display alongside my 5x4 film camera B+W prints. I use in manual mode and cannot praise the Sigma/Foveon combination enough. To date (April 2006) some 17 people, who have seen my prints, have changed and got either the SD9 or later SD10, so results speak for themselves.
