Just bought a DP2s from Japan, it will be the first pre-Merrill Sigma camera that I'll delve my teeth into, curious to see those colors everyone seem to rave about, even if 4MP in 2022 sounds pretty ridiculous, I'll be already at 100% on my 4K monitor (of course they are supposed to be "Foveon good" 4MP..)

5 x3 MP 😉 By today standards it is low count but objectively speaking it is vintage goodness especially if you print. Buying a DP2s today, on used market, might be dicey on some level. If it is mint without any traces of choke it’s ok. If you want to cherish it, and keep it on the long run I suggest you to find the two screw drivers below. One point of failure might be on the retractable lens mechanisms (some stuff might break or go out of alignement). In this case you might open it and if something is broken you can eventually 3D print it. You’ll need also some grease to avoid friction like the G95-EM-D110 YAMAHA.

another point of failure is the shutter button / or a bad soldering but this is rare. The electronic on itself is pretty solid in this camera. Enjoy it and post some when you have it 😋
