I would assume that the lens on the DP3M is a curved field lens, suitable for general photography. For edge to edge sharpness shooting flat surfaces you need to use a flat field lens.  Apparently ...

Remember that in 2 1/4 square, 80mm is considered normal.  In APSC, 35mm is considered normal, and in compact cameras normal is around 15mm I think. There's nothing inherently normal about 50mm.  ...

Of course you have to adjust the camera/subject distance.  That's the whole point.  You can walk back and forth with either lens and the distance between foreground and background objects will ...

Your English is fine.  Put on a price and a picture and there shouldn't be a problem. How much are you asking, by the way? Jan

Hi, Are your cameras that surpass it as small?  The tiny size combined with the sharpness of the lens is what I like about the DP2 M the most. Jan

He's on my ignore list so go crazy! Jan

I was just musing on the possibility that the wells in the third layer may not fill up so fast because so many photons are absorbed by the upper layers (as well as the IR filter), so data from the ...

Hi, The neat thing about using the Merrills for B&W is, when you process them in SPP and use the monochrome tab, you can select the layers by using the colour mixer.  Its a bit like being able to ...

Too bad. It just takes one troll and an interesting thread is spoiled. Oh well.  Some people seem to think they have a God given right to tell other people how to live their life. Jan

I'm interested. It is a good proof of concept but a gentle gradation between the masked and non masked parts of the picture would improve it a lot. I'd like to see a finished non-exaggerated ...

The first picture is magic, with the sepia tone and the effect of looking out from inside a dark forest.  The second picture just doesn't have it. There is a beautiful beach that I visit every ...

Great picture.  You are lucky that you had another couple of early risers! After all that effort to get up so early (4am?) I am surprised you didn't throw in a cheap little portable tripod, ...

The DNG looks like someone put gauze over the lens. Jan

I've not heard of a "snow mower". Blower of course but not mower. When driving up from Vancouver we stopped in Keremeos to buy some cherries from a roadside stand; 45C in the shade! It felt like a ...

Nice.  I really need to work on my digital printing. Jan

Thanks Scott.  I wish I could get the sky a little bluer though. Jan

Thanks Vitee.  Sometimes you step out of the forest and the postcard is just there ready for you to pick up, no effort required. Jan

Taken this summer just after the heat wave which melted so much of the snow pack. Jan

I think it is fine just the way it is.  Good colour, nicely detailed, great chroma in the shadowed green foliage, and all from the camera generated jpeg.  My DP2M jpegs couldn't come close to this. Jan

I wasn't necessarily talking about that specific lens. I was just using it as an example of how it is possible to make a 35mm 1.4 lens that is half the size.
Sigma could make a lens the size of...
