Old lenses on dp2x

Nice results.......but how did you get the lens to fit onto the camera ?

Looks impressive KM141

Very interesting. Which mount? This works with the original shutter or is a new fitted?

Mine is an EF mount, though a lot of mounts are available from Leica-M to Hassel. Unfortunately, the E-mount and m4/3 mount are not possible. My camera now uses a newly installed electronic shutter, some models use Copal machanical shuters.

Thanks.

Some more pics from this lens

Leica R28 on dp2x

All these are impressive KM141

Can these lenses be mounted on a Sigma dSLR camera too ?

Is there a special advantage in using the Sigma DP compacts ??

Thanks Marek L

Live View sure is useful, especially for UV & IR too.

My Sigma cameras include SD15(moded to EF mount), SD1M(now undergoing modification to EF mount), DP2M(moded to Leica M mount), DP2X(moded to EF mount), and 2 intact DCs (DP1M & DP3M).  And I am invited to test a newly moded DP3M using a Copal mechanical shutter.

As to your question, those lenses I put up in this thread can all be connected to SD1M and SD15. The results on SD1M are not so promising due to the phenominon of green corners and red centre. The results on SD15 are quite decent.  I checked from the infos and found both SD15 and DP2X use the same sensor and cpu, but it is found that when using the same lens, the DP2X always does better than the SD15. I don't know why.

some more pixs using the same lens

My Sigma cameras

Nice collection of cameras KM141

You seem to be getting better colours too ?

Have you changed something or is it your PP style.

Have you tried IR or UV photography with these ?

Thanks for your kind words.

I use SPP to convert 3Xf to TIFF, then us PS to convert TIFF to Jpeg with basic touch ups.

Have not tried IR & UV photography yet.

I have got to get some sleep KM141......

But I'll leave you with these to contemplate

Very interesting. Very nice photos. I'd br interested in m42 mount. How did you get them converted. Was the shutter part of the package?

An expert in Western China did the conversion for me, yes, the shutter is included in the package. I am advised to take the EF mount, because with the aid of adapter mounts I can easily use Leica R, Contax/Yashica, m42, Nikon ai/nonai, Pentax K, Exakta, & OM lenses.
