I'd love to see how this was done. It looks like the mount and baffles and shutter were somehow attached to the chassis of the DP as a unit. How firm is the mechanical attachment to the sensor? How ...

The camera would be manual focus.  What is the advantage of the many focus points? Jan

Beautiful and perfect tonal range. Is there a bit of dirt on the sensor just to the right of the tree? Jan

That's a good point about the Foveon sensor needing telecentric lenses because of their sensitivity to oblique light.  The sensors that Panasonic and Leica uses will possibly be less sensitive to that

I would be very surprised to see a full frame Foveon.  It would cost a fortune to develop and the market isn't there for them.  People who are willing to splash out for a full frame would want a ...

Hi, It seems a bit soft.  What SPP settings did you use? Jan

That is really interesting.  I wonder how the shutter works because I thought they had a leaf shutter. Jan

Lovely shot. Did you add the softness around the edge in post? Jan

Sigma cameras don't go obsolete like other cameras.  They are great cameras when they come out and they stay great cameras.  And they keep their value. NEX 3's were fine cameras when they came out ...

Hi David, When you say pixel number, do you mean the distance from the top of the image? Jan

I'm sorry if I am being obtuse on this, but what is the X axis? Jan

Ah.  I thought the X axis was frequency response, but it actually is the physical position on the image, if the image is turned sideways. Jan

If you want a pure spectrum only a narrow horizontal slit of light should be hitting the horizontal prism. If the whole prism is illuminated evenly, at any point on the wall you could have light ...

I always liked small cameras that gave top quality results, like the Rollei 35 I used for 20 years.  I own 3 of them now, plus an Olympus XA.  They gave results as good as my M3 with the Summilux. ...

I'm more than happy to take your word for it. Jan

Hi Ted, Do you think there is a difference between having the luminance value arise from the measured/calculated RGB values at each pixel (like Bayers), or actually measuring a luminance value from ...

Hi Ted, I think that the term "micro contrast" relates to the extremely sharp textures that the Foveons can produce, because of the absence of anti-aliasing filters combined with the direct ...

Yeah it wasn't a fair comparison.  Leica has rented their name out and Panasonic has used it where I don't think it was always warranted.. I'm pretty sure that any lens that Leica makes themselves ...

The Leica lens on my Lumix FZ1000 isn't that good.  I think the Zeiss lens that Sony uses on the RX100 is much more worthy of the name. Jan

Hi Ted, It seems that monitor quality is as important as sensor quality if you want nice looking pictures.  I gave up editing on my laptop after seeing the results on my desktop.  I suppose seeing ...
