Foveon = The pursuit of the ideal digital imager...
6

Hello forum members,

A very interesting discussion indeed.

I switched to Sigma/Foveon in 2007. The experiment, thankfully, was fruitful. In the process i had to endure pain, but it was worth every bit.

Coming from a 6*7 MF+Slide film and drum scans routine...the output from the Sigma/Foveon really attracted me. And i also had C***n and P*******c then...which were extremely versatile and capable.

Still, the output from the Sigma/Foveon SD14 worked for me. I find it easier compared to the MF+Slide film and drum scanning routine. As for the versatility/capability from the other two systems...i realized it is not for me. All the speed, and features which i never used.

My understanding is that Foveon is the pursuit of the ideal digital imager. And i really appreciate that Sigma has taken that path...and i shall eagerly await the release of the Full Frame Foveon! (On a selfish note...i hope its a better version of the sensor in the SD14/DP2s!!)

Regards,

Sattva
