Hello Sigma Shooters:

Well February is gone already, time flies when you are having fun. Let's hope the weather lightens up in the northern tiers and they have an early, warm spring.

Well it is time for our weekly photo show. All Sigma cameras and lenses are welcome to participate and as usual please try to limit your post to 3 images. Please give your post a title so that comments can be properly directed.

But most of all 'just do it!' go out and shoot some photos and have fun ;O)>.--

Cheers,
larryj

A photo of the old lighthouse and restaurant at Marina Del Rey, CA. Shot with the SD1M and the 24 to 70 mm lens.

Excellent picture! Good to see a picture of the 24-70mm at 24. I was a bit wondering about the stone wall - it doesn't seem to be very sharp. Then I checked the aperture setting: It says f/10. Well, it is quite unlikely that this is because of a narrow DOF then, or?

You have probably witnessed my struggles with the mackerel sky in another thread but here are three more shots taken at the same time from Penhalt Cliff near Bude in North Cornwall (two with my new DP3M and one with my new DP1M).

I'm fortunate to live in one of the houses in the centre of the last picture.

This flower is usually blooming just prior to the last frost of the season (which often spoils the flowers just after they bloom). This time the cold came, but not quite to a frost, in the low 40's F.
This is Sigma SD9 with Yashica 50mm f2 (M42) at f2.

I think I'm developing a love for these old lenses.

Hi Hardy: Thanks for looking and for the comments.

I think in this case the stone wall lack of sharpness was due to me miss focusing the image. I usually shoot at f:8 and would expect that wall to be in better focus. I think you would call this operator error ;O)>.

Here is one at 24 mm that shows better focus over all (better operator this time).

Thanks Larry for your feedback

This is an impressive picture! But it doesn't have that many details on the left or right borders

The centre is certainly very sharp!

Hardy Steiner · Mar 7, 2014

Wow, beautiful capture! I like the bokeh too!

larryj · Mar 7, 2014

Boy Hardy you are a tough taskmaster!

Here is one that I think shows what the 24-70 mm lens is capable of when handled in the best way, my problem was that I do not always get this quality result at 24 mm. The 18-35 mm delivers top quality all the time.

PS. Maybe the saints were blessing me on this shot ;O)>.

I processed this image as Foveon Blue. Used the eyedropper tool to remove yellow from mountains, applied a bit of Neg-Fill Light.

Thanks Hardy. I like the bokeh as well. This is a lens I purchased with a set of Pentax Spotmatic cameras. The one lens that I really liked was a 135 2.8, and when I got it home, I realized that the 135 was broken, and I didn't think much of this lens to even try it out until last month. I can't focus to infinity with it, but I don't think that's the beauty of these lenses anyway.

The bottom line is if you want sharp with certainty, shoot the 18-35.

Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak.

Beautiful capture Rick: I am very jealous of your coast shot, as the only thing showing today in Denver in dark clouds and lots of snow :O(<.

Great capture, John, nice bokeh! There is really something about the SD9 images which gives a greater sense of reality for me in this digital world. I can almost touch the texture on the petals.
