Sigma SD14
I just got it, so you can expect a few samples over the weekend. I’ll do some on tomorrow’s slo-foto workshop. And ofcourse I’ll bother my friends and take a few session shots, if I’ll have the time for it (yeah I work every day, even on Sunday).
I’m really looking forward to see whether foveon is just more or less a marketing trick or it really makes a difference. It’s really a shame that Sigma doesn’t make any fixed focal lenght portrait lenses (medium tele, 85 mm or so). I guess 18-50 2.8 macro will have to do.
First impressions: Nice big vewfinder, only 5 AF points crummed in the centre, dial with only relevant modes (P,A,S,M no P&S stupid modes eg night portrait etc), AF seems pretty fast in low light, AF assist lamp. I’ll write more about IQ during the weekend. That’s the most important thing anyway.

No tole bo pa zanimivo: Sigma v rokah pravovernega canonaša, hahah
samo opomba: Foveon je krasna stvar, le veliki (Canon, Nikon, Sony)bi ga morali imeti na svojem spisku patentov, pa se mi danes n bi ukvarjali z napakami, ki nam jih producirajo CCD-ji on CMOS-i.
Meni ne boš povedal nič novega, sem zadevo gonil skoraj leto dni in vem kakšen potencial je, žal ni v pravih rokah in kot tak ni navit v nulo(tipalo) ohišje pa tudi žal počasni, malce netipični Sigmi tudi ne smemo zamerit, sedaj ko so ga napram SD10 močno redizajnirali. Upam, da nam boš postregel z zanimivim branjem….
Pa tolkrat sem ti že hotel napisat, kako rad bi te bral v slovenščini…hahaa

Imaš prav ja (no sicer še nisem začel testirati, a kolikor se govori). Tudi sam bi si želel, da bi veliki delali na tem (ok Fuji ima dokaj podobno zadevo, samo Fuji tudi ni velik). Filmske barve? Yes, please. In res pravi b&w…
Ja no kaj dosti me itak ne boš bral; because I intend to keep it short&sweet;). Enostavno ni časa za test normalnega obsega…

At 1.7 crop, the Sigma 50mm is an 85mm equivalent. This is an easy lens to find. And an excellent lens. There is also a very good 70mm that is 120mm equivalent.
And the Sigma has many options for adapters to use older manual lenses.
