Yes it is

It' such a marvelous technology that has such interesting applications, and yet few people seem to recognize it.

That's the sad part. It isn't mainstream enough for a lot of people. The foveon just produces excellent results.

Most reflexively pan it out of ignorance and miss out on its exceptional potential.

Very much so. If they haven't shot film or mostly positive film they cannot understand how good the Foveon is.

I think it may be that it's only us old guy, who worked through the limitations of shooting slow film back in the day, can take advantage of the Foveon and recognize it for what it is.

Very well said, very very true. I find my SD14 SD15 SD1M still have the best IQ. Better than most newer cameras of today, and they just work. They're simple and work.

I saw your work, very very nice. I'll have to revisit Silver again. Although PhotoScape X works excellent as well.

Enjoy
