It may be because the Sigma Photo Pro (SPP) converter hasn’t yet been optimised, but the initial RAW/JPG images I’m seeing from the new Sigma DP2 Quattro are somewhat disappointing.
The images are suggesting that image quality has suffered (as compared to the Sigma Merrill) with the re-design of the fabled Foveon sensor. I hope they haven’t indeed messed things up.
This is reminiscent of the whole Leica M240 vs. M9 business.

The Leica 75mm Summarit – back again.

A few days ago, I hinted that a second lens would soon be joining my newly-acquired Leica M-E, and it arrived today.
Yes, the Leica 75mm Summarit is back (and it joins my 35mm Summarit for a 35/75 set-up).
My detailed report on the Leica 75mm Summarit is here.

The effect is always visible to my eye, but becomes more apparent when comparing images from the two formats in a side-by-side fashion.
