sigma_dp2quattroSigma DP2 Quattro

Pros: If purchased with awareness, the comparison with the rest of the "normal" cameras does not make sense, so we can not speak of pro but of specificity. More in the general comment, but in the lead a color rendering certainly not "realistic" but all its own and a microdetail (understood as the ability to separate information at the level of a single pixel) superior (but not like the merril).

Cons: If purchased with awareness only those that would make its use much more pleasant: lack of evf (even small) and lack of joystick.

Opinion: Having reached the certainty that I cannot use lenses with a central shutter on the FP L, the DP series also appears in the search for alternative solutions, among the compact lenses with leaf shutter. A relapse of foveonite (I have already used the SD1M for years) did the rest and ... click on the cart. Let's remove the tooth immediately: the quattro series (at least the DP) compared to the SD1M is light years ahead in terms of usability, speed, AF, etc. BUT, yes, it is also a middle ground, in terms of files, between the Merril and a bayer. Is it a "fair" compromise or not? Obviously it depends on who is behind (or in front, if he / she then judges) the camera. For me it is worthwhile, even if very borderline; obviously, having the "best" of both worlds would be preferable (sta' blessed FF merril ...). SPP now runs decently (MacBookPro 16' i7). Opening the shadows in post remains a stuff to do on tiptoe but at least a little 'can be done (but the green and purple spots are there under the ash waiting, even at 100 iso). The two stops (if not more) of recovery on the highlights of the FP L, not even to talk about it. The colors are NOT natural (they have never been with the foveon, who says that with foven you have the "true colors" mind), especially in the violet, red, orange, yellow area, where often reproducing what the eyes see is ... It's not. But the yield if you like it is very particular, "film" and the nuances certainly do not miss them. In summary, this "machine" commands her: it is the scene that must be suitable for her and we do not think of adapting her to the scene, so the usability field is narrow (then nobody forbids us to take pictures of the holidays at night). Last but not least: from the real it is beautiful. Would I recommend it? Do you regret the purchase? Absolutely not, but I can not consider it excellent because I imagine the satisfaction of a merril with the same usability. Vote 8/10.
