I guess I misstated my concern: Sigma is making no more SA cameras. I spend $2-3k on SA lenses they will be worth nothing compared to their Nikon, Canon, Sony counterparts in 3-5 years. Like M42, which were all but worthless until mirrorless cameras came out. Sigma wants $200+ to convert SA to another mount. I am not buying into an already obsolete system. I really want an QH but will hold onto my DP Merrills and see where FF Foveon goes.

I don't get it. Buy a Sigma sdQH and some Sigma SA lenses. Your camera and lenses will have continuing support into the indefinite future.

CEO Yamaki has written to Sigma customers, committing to providing an SA-to-L adapter, so your SA mount lenses can be used indefinitely should you move beyond sdQH and on to Sigma, Panasonic and Leica cameras in L Mount. That's a pretty exciting future.

Also, for resale, buyers will be valuing them on the basis of their compatibility with L Mount, not just SA Sigma cameras.
