Hello Rick, Kendall, other old-time readers who may remember me! I haven't taken many photos in the past 2 years or so, and trips anywhere have been limited pretty much around our home state of Virginia since Covid appeared. Sigma landscape photos are; details of trees, rocks, sticks, rushes and reeds... Landscapes and flower shots are still my thing. Suggestions re new gear?
Best regards, Sandy

Sandy,

You will not know me but I must say I learned a lot about post processing X3F files in SPP from your posts some years ago, especially regarding White Balance.

I wondered if you had given up Sigma photography since you disappeared off this forum some time ago.

I do not know what lenses you have but if they are the Global Vision ones I would suggest the sd Quattro or the sd Quattro H. If not the SD1M is still an excellent camera. I use both. The non GV lenses will work on the Quattros but depending on their age manual focus might be necessary. If they are the lenses just prior to the GV issue they work very well on the Quattros. Any Sigma lens will be ok on the SD!M.

I am sure you are aware that a Full Frame X3 sensor is in the planning stage, apparently the sensor at least will be ready later this year and  maybe, but less likely, the camera. That camera will be mirrorless and have the L mount. The SA lenses can be used with the MC-21 mount converter.

Good to see you back and looking forward to seeing your images again.
