The FFF should have the same image quality as the Merrill sensor, but with double the area. Simple.

That would be 7um pixel-pitch which is close enough to what Sigma proposed in the first place.

Images from the Merrill are already extremely good, as we all know.

Yeppers ...

I don't expect images from wide angle vintage lenses adapted to L mount to be any good, because they are already poor on the fp. But I do look forward to seeing what longer lenses such as the 105mm Nikkor can do on Foveon.

If they can improve the QE so that one can get good images at a setting of ISO 800, that would help.
