Dear pdh, In Sigmology, "pixel sharpness" has an objective meaning it will take just a moment to explain. According to Foveon catechism, we first remember that 'output' pixels - squares on the computer screen - do not correspond directly to the photo sites on the camera's sensor, at least...

Perhaps because it wouldn't fit your style of shooting. I just visited your blog and WOW! Talk about pushing the high-contrast envelope: your 1-22-11 image from the Botanical Garden is most excellent. I imagine it was a split-second grab shot that wouldn't have waited for manual exposure...

Ricardovaste, Welcome to the forum! So many nice images from one outing is a good success rate: I suppose the EX1 deserves some of the credit, but yours is clearly in capable hands. Your images titled "Palette" and "Settling back" have the subtle colors and luminosity that I was delighted to...

Stratokaster, Thanks for starting this thread and showing us some fine images you made with your EX1. During decades of film photography, I owned and used several Schneider lenses including the phenomenal 28 PC for 35mm. Seeing that marque on a serious digital compact got my attention, and...

Ray, Interesting thread. I use the Samsung EX1 and wish it had a distance scale! But I agree with what you say about small-sensor cameras shooting landscapes. When practical, I basically follow Merklinger's approach to DOF, setting focus at the farthest point and stopping down to sharpen...

Thanks, Wally Wally, Thanks for your posts. As a fellow EX1 user, it's good to see someone out there making photographs. I especially like the pair posing: graceful gestures, sense of the moment, happy mood. The Hall of Mammals one is very amusing: I imagine the sitter worrying about the...

Ouch! That's out of my price range for now... Still, if it delivers what it promises, it will be a great camera for a long time, advances in technology notwithstanding. I'm a patient man and will probably get one eventually.

Michael, I saw your lovely photos and only now have time to thank you for the posting and to ask a perhaps obvious question. Unless bees where you live are quite large, the images are more than "life size" (i.e. 1:1). Am I overestimating the size of the sensor, or are these cropped? If so...

Miserere, Thanks for your thoughtful and informative reply. A focus ring with an option for direction of rotation had not occurred to me, but I certainly agree with you about the sensual aspect of adjusting a fine helicoid and how focusing by that means engages our physical being as well as...

Streetshooter, Thanks for your reply and I certainly agree that you point out something special and somewhat historic about the X100, but I think we could refine the wording to really express what it is that we appreciate so much. I have no doubt that any of the leading manufacturers would...

Focus by wire: ah yes, thanks for the clarification. But then for all we know (unless you know better), the diaphragm ring is probably also "by wire," only put in its traditional place. I'm sure you see my concern. One thing that makes something like a Leica for being ready to catch the decisive...

So much, and more... I remember newspaper photographers in a major U.S. city in the late silver era with their big 70-200 (or 210) f/2.8s on SLR bodies, and a Hexar: for expanses, intimacy and silence. Could the X100 be just such a "pro" camera? Posters on other forums have decided it's only...

Wow. Phenomenal portrait. Must be a great camera, too!

Wallace, Wecome. Your 8X10 work is lovely. I read somewhere that the secret to compact cameras is to treat them like a view camera. You should be right at home. I'm into my TL500, but am definitely interested in the DPs. L ook forward to reading about your experiences. Eric

Like others here, I got serious about photography with a screw-mount Leica some decades ago. And again as with others here, it was a Contax T that joined "serious" and "compact" inseparably in my life. Then 18 months ago, I made the leap to digital photography with an F200EXR. I have learned...
