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.

Agreed. SA mount lens take a beating on the used market. I say that having purchased and sold a number of them this year. Hard to sell and they sell for considerably less than the same lens in a Canon or Nikon mount. 30% to 50% less and in far smaller numbers.
