There is a chap selling a DP1M down the road from me for £500. I would only be shooting at F8 or F11 whichever give the best sharpness so that might be OK.

I would use the supplied SPP5 or I can send you SPP 5.5.3. Steer clear of SPP6 - once it has opened a Merrill X3F file, that file can never be opened in SPP5 again.

Ted,

As a matter of interest why would someone like myself want to go back to SPP 5.5.3 when SPP 6.8.0 does the job just fine. Whatever was contained in 5.5.3 is also contained in 6.8.0 and the latter is much faster.

I was stating a personal preference to someone who hasn't yet bought a Sigma camera. I was not recommending for current SPP6 users to revert to earlier versions.

Is it still the case that, if someone sent me a Merrill X3F that had been opened in SPP 6.8.0, I would not be able to open it in 5.5.3?
