SD1 + 17-70 OS f2.8-4: a good combo for starting w/Foveon?
1

In the used market I see an SD1 for about $600 and a used 17-70 in Sigma mount for about $200. Will the 17-70 give me good results without fringing?

Is this a good combo to get started? Or should I get the new Quattro w/30mm and just use that for a while ?

Which makes more sense for getting into Foveon?  I shoot landscapes, mountains, etc. here in Colorado. Currently have a 24Mp Pentax K3 II but the Foveon samples seem pretty convincing.

Sigma SD1
