Too bad there is no Sigma wide angle converter to make the DP1m 24mm or 21mm

Anyone tried the GR wide angle converter?

Ricoh's GW3 works just fine with the DP1M.

Great info!
Thanks a lot.

How do you guys control the strong yellow hue from tungsten street lamps?
Its an odd 'green+yellow' as far as I can tell.
I could not get it corrected in SPP5, so did the best I could using 'standard color mode' and then did the rest of the WB correction in JPG.

As the Dp1m is a 'landscapes' only camera for me, I don't get to use it as much as I like to.
But whenever I open up the files in SPP5, I feel so happy with the IQ.

Nice shot. I like the colours.
Get the Ricoh GW3 for a wider coverage.

Yes, I'm looking for one in BnS, missed it 2 times.
Might fail to resist and buy new

How do you adapt the GW3 to the SD1m?

Just screw it onto the camera. They have the same filter thread and no adapter is required unlike with the Ricoh GR.

One of my main concerns before getting the dp1m was the max 30s exposure time.
But it seems its enough.

No bulb mode?

 

[pinholecam]

No bulb mode?

Nope.
Thats one of the quirks of this camera.

But from my use so far, can live with it

 

[longj49]

really n-i-c-e shots, bro pinholecam! the DP1M/DP2M/DP3M cams can still compete with the best out there in terms of resolution.

 

[Mr Khaw]

doubt it will have bulb mode. the sensor will burn if it exceeds a certain time and battery will deplete too....

Isn't it [exactly] the same sensor as in the SD1m? That one has a bulb mode, doesn't it (as previous SD models)?

 

[Mr Khaw]

probably the structure or internals contructed in SD1M allows it. DPs too compact. anyway.. i dont really know too...
perhaps they include this mode in future dps.
