Re: DP3 Merrill + Strobes

It’s actually a 75mm equivalent, not 90mm - I don’t know it that makes any difference to you. I used the DP2M and fortunately also a D800E to take photos at a birthday party recently. Like with other subjects, the Sigma picks up detail not readily apparent until you see it on the RAW files. You’ll spend a lot of time using one of the portrait plugins to make the images acceptable to your clients.

A French photographer (Hulyss Bowmas) has posted some excellent SP3M portraits on the Luminous Landscape site, but as I recall, they are predominately attractive younger women. You might want to take a look at the DP3M forum there, or Google his name and DP3M.
