Yes. Please.

That would be a surprise.

Wouldn't mind it one bit.

Just from a numbers standpoint, I do not see the benefit of a 15mp full frame Foveon over the most recent Merrill, which is 15mp and APS-C (or, 45mp, depending on who you ask). Now, if something ...

Mmmm, donut bokeh... :)

Yeah, they had a special clear sky permit included with the panel installation :) But that was only good at night :)

Well, that's a bad example because Texas has one of those fancy independent electrical grids. We know how well that worked out for them recently... :)

Unfortunately, both Sigma and Canon mount versions of the 200-500mm f/2.8 are on back order. The Nikon version is available. This is a lens that (probably) isn't available from any other maker- ...

The turbine blades are carbon fiber, which is not recyclable at the present time. Apparently, the leading edge is traveling quite fast, even though it appears to be rotating slowly, and gets damaged.

I'd take that, too. Of course, that must also mean that the data is at least double. Camera processing, storage cards, disk space and SPP processing, to name a few. Oh, and battery life. Many of us ...

Just how many of those Sigma 500mm f/2.8 lenses do you think are out there? I'm not up on the whole Leica lens thing, but aren't most, if not all of them, manual focus? There's a big difference ...

I would be OK with this. If it ever happens :)

The Sigma 800mm f/5.6 apparently dates from 2006 and sold for $8k. The Canon is not discontinued (yet?) and is selling for $13k. The Sigma lacks Image Stabilization (Canon has it). The Sigma weighs ...

Um, the Canon 800mm f/5.6 is just a tick under $13k USD... and is really big and heavy. The birders seem to favor the 500mm or 600mm with extenders. The Canon 600mm with the 1.4x VIII is reportedly ...

Probably not a good time to mention the growing non-recyclable waste problem from turbine blades or solar cell panels, eh? And of course, nuclear is surprisingly fuel inefficient and it also has a ...

Really? People aren't buying efficiency, they are buying power. I had a VW diesel (2005) that COULD go 500 miles between fill ups, easily. No hypermiling required, stock emissions stuff in place. I ...

Only Mr. Yamaki knows what numbers will work, and what won't. I would like to see a monochrome only camera, with no demosiacing. A regular image sensor without a CFA. Something in the 20-30 ...

Point 1: Gas engines tapped out? You have got to be kidding me. At what other point in automobile history has 400 and 500 hp (and more) been so readily available? Point 3: Durability? Again- you ...

I don't know what the future sensor will be called, Foveon is fine with me. Not sure if Sigma could or should pull off a "Merrill II"... It will be good if the sensor name can't be confused for a ...

Electric cars will be a game changer as soon as the Ronco Mr. Fusion can be attached to the motor... :)

Does Sigma own the Foveon name? In the end, it won't really matter to me. As much as I would like to see this "FFF" materialize, I wonder if it ever will. And if it does, how much longer will it ...
