Sigma DP1 Quattro Review: Slightly disappointing lens on otherwise promising camera

Hello,

I'm a new owner of a Sigma Dp1 quattro and it's the first time that I write in this forum.

First of all I'm sorry for my english grammar. I'm an italian professional photographer.

I didn't find problems with the lens at all. The dp1 quattro is a tool that you can use with the tripod as a tech-camera or carefully handheld like you did with the diving scene in the forest (I like the picture!). As a landscape, urban-landscape and architecture's camera you know that maybe it needs some tilt/shift correction in Lightroom or Photoshop and the little softness at the corners will desapear immediately cause you're going to trim the picture a little bit.

Let me explain that I don't like pixelpeeping the images at 200% but instead print my pictures and show to people. So I still photographing with the ideal goal of printing my images. Print is my final media and maybe emailing/wetransfer images to magazine and friends.

I don't think that we need to change a camera for little soft corners of little noise. I don't find the noise so annoying but rather organic, filmic. Let's call it grain.

And I know I'm new with Foveon. But the Colors?  One word : Amazing.

I'm so glad to find a digital camera that reproduce natural colors with this high fidelity.

In terms of colors the foveon sensor is the best that I've used and I regularly working with medium format digital cameras/backs.

Kind regards

Frank
