No. It's the Sigma 70mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro.

Have you tried tethered with the sd 1 and if you have does it display on the screen fast or just as slow as when on camera.
As for the dp3 it's strange but interesting???

No, I haven't tried. Tethering is useful mainly for studio photography and I don't have the setup for it.The DP3M would be good for portrait and macro/product/food photography I think. The lens could be sharper than that of the DP2M.
'drooling' already.

Just got myself a 10-20/4-5.6. Didn't quite like this lens. Need a lot of pp.

I also tried out the Sigma 50.1.4 . The bokeh is not as smooth as when used on a Canon FF. The colours are alright.

The ability to zoom in is amazing given the resolution of SD15. I believe the SD1m and DPxm will be even more powerful.
CCTV and mobile phones should use sensors from foveon.

Gosh! I didn't realised that swee girl is looking at me with so much love in her eyes.

I prefer to use my Zeiss ZS lenses on my SD15. Anyone who is interested in both my Sigma SA 10-20/4-5.6 and 50/1.4, please PM me.

Lovely, can almost feel the texture of the petals, natural light?

Very 3D, is it? :bsmilie:
They were taken with flash. Too dim inside the nursery to shoot at f/8.

a couple of first test shots from DP2M.

Nice, so tempting. Might still buy one in Feb or Mar in Japan... How much did you pay?

Taken with DP1M. Unfortunately some blurriness caused by the slow shutter speed of 1/6 seconds, not helped by my shaky and unsteady ageing hands. Too bad didn't have any ND Filter and tripod to use, but i still like the silky texture of the waterfall that came out of this shot.

Yup, it's pretty blurry even on my phone but nice nevertheless.

thanks. no fault of the camera, just the person using it.:embrass:

The DPxm lacks OS which may perhaps rescue your picture. So blame it on the gears

the blurriness actually contributed, albeit unintentionally, to the silky effect on that particular shot, haha!

I have not handled a DP yet. Does the lens allow for screw on filter?

yes, standard 49mm filter thread on both models.

A few aerial cityscape pics taken with the DP1M & DP2M both of which are great for this genre due to their ultra sharp lenses, high resolution and unique ability to shoot through glass as if it is not there.

Do you have higher resolution versions online and which lens was that?
