  • Dear Jim, this is a sad and touching story. I am very sorry for you. I am glad that you have a partner supporting you and sharing your decisions on how to go on. And as expected, the decisions you ...
  • Replied in I like it…
    Sorry David, I was not offended. Shouldn‘t sound harsh. My problem is that I often experience that I, in my opinion, say something in a clear way, but others extend the meaning beyond what I said. ...
  • Replied in I like it…
    We are not so far from each other… I agree, the flow of a conversation often doesn‘t stay focused on the original theme. And that‘s ok. My personal feeling is that in our forum, it is specifically ...
  • Replied in I like it…
    Why is it so hard to get my point? Looks like people don‘t read properly. Or I am not clear enough. Ok, last try…. I didn‘t say that I don‘t like the things I mentioned. I said that in my opinion, ...
  • Replied in I like it…
    I agree, there is room for both approaches. But this was clearly NOT my point. You know how easily threads in this forum get corrupted or highjacked by non-related posts or discussions. Ted ...

  • Replied in I like it…
    It‘s a different approach to photography and a nice one. First of all, you started with the sentence „Feel free to post in this thread!“ And this what the RFF members did. As you say correctly, ...
  • There is no difference. The initial price for the SD1 was set too high. Sigma corrected with the following explanation. They said that the production of the sensor has been optimized to get a much ...
  • You want want to join the discussion here.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/66954542
  • https://expertphotography.com/best-photography-forums/ https://fixthephoto.com/best-photography-forums.html Maybe overviews like these can help….
  • Dear all, let's discuss the alternatives to dpreview. Exisiting Sigma forums, creating a new one, asking other photography web pages to open a forum for us.... Whatever comes to your mind. Would be ...
  • It makes me sad to hear that Laurence is gone. I had some very good private communication with him. Also after he had his bad accident. I missed him in this forum but it was clear to me that he no ...
  • Replied in 3D....
    Interesting work, abstract pictures using color in three dimensions…. Don‘t feel pushed back. Yes, this is the Sigma forum but you explained your intention and at least I myself am happy to see ...
  • Yes, this is a valid observation. But you should not conclude that the ones taking actively part in technical discussions don‘t do the same amount of photography as others. They may simply not be ...
  • There shouldn't be confusion. It is either SD or SD Merrill vs. sd Quattro and DP or DP Merrill vs. dp Quattro. This is not a problem of capital to lower-case letters. I assume the designers ...
  • An uneducated guess: The SD9 had 9 MP or better 9 million sensels. Ok, it was a bit more but maybe it started out with 9. - The SD10 was the successor of the SD9. The SD14 had 14 MP (ok, again, ...
  • Mechanically they are the same. But if I remember correctly, they have a slightly different color when looking at them. This may mean that their filter function is also slightly different. Can ...
  • I think there is a difference between the Panasonic/Leica lenses or some of the Zeiss lenses in other cameras which have the label "designed by Leica/Zeiss" and a fully Leica branded lens. But of ...
  • Had to check what this phrase means. From UsingEnglish.com: "If someone draws a long bow, they lie or exaggerate." Nice, friendy as always, thank you! And yes, I think this is remarkable and worth ...
  • Other companies know as well how to build high quality lenses. But Leica as Zeiss was in a league of its own. This time may be gone. Still, isn't it interesting and remarkable that the Sigma lens ...
