I owned at least one of every generation on DPX camera. My most sold landscape photo was taken on a DP1s. My Merrills are getting on and I am considering the Quattro H. I recently bought a Sony A7rii ($1600 new), Loxia 21mm, and Zeiss 55mm. However, I wasn't happy with the IQ compared to my Merrills and am considering returning it. My goal is to print A0 and even larger.

Now, the Quattro H is on my radar; but, I am concerned about the SA series lenses being discontinued. I don't want to invest in an already obsolete system. To those maybe more knowledgeable about this:

- Is SA dead?

No, because there will be a Sigma adapter to use the lenses on L mount. There is already an adapter to Sony E mount.

- What lenses can be adapted to fit the SDQH?

Pentax and other fully manual M42 lenses, but the adapters are very difficult to remove once attached.

Nikon AI for macro work. Enlarger lenses on bellows for macro.
