… The Japanese “wabi sabi” is roughly the inclusion of a deliberate flaw in a masterpiece. A point being to create understanding that nothing in life is perfect.

… As I put my SD14 up for sale, it strikes me that this may be something true about every Sigma camera model. The SD14 is a magnificient camera, with brilliant images. Except that it has a fatal WB/ hue flaw that spoils it for me.

.. Perhaps all the models are deliberately so, in one way or another. Imperfect. Like life.

Set it up correctly with a Custom White Balance, made in sunlight at around 10-11am and set your camera to Sunlight colour mode. Any minor corrections needed can be easily achieved in post.

The following shot was made in my studio with a Custom White Balance and with an 18% grey card included in the first shot of the session. Most colour correction was done in SPP using the eye dropper tool on the grey card.

Loved this camera for landscape and studio work.
