Hi there. New to this forum but have been reading through the posts the last few days. I have wanted a Foveon based camera for a number of years and finally had the chance to purchase a second hand DP1. Having lots of film bodies as well, I am not one of those people who worries about speed and running and gunning photography. I love old cameras and love my Olympus OMD EM5 because I can use a ton of old lenses on it with in-body stabilization.
The DP1 arrived late last week and I had the chance to make a few photos with it. Though the weather here has been vastly uninspiring and I had little time, I made a few photos of some local industrial areas. Given that I cannot see the total shutter count of the Sigma, I can only hope there is plenty of life left in it! It looks to be in excellent condition, apart from a tiny dent on a lower corner, where it has obviously met a hard surface at some point. Other than that, the battery seems to have lots of life in it and everything else seems very nice indeed.
Here are some photos, minimally processed in the latest version of SPP, exported to 16 bit TIFF and then conservatively processed in ON1 Photo RAW. No sharpening or noise reduction applied. All at ISO 100. I love the resolution and detail retention. I quite often add up to 1 extra stop of EV, but was not sure for the DP1 in these cases. I would rather often have a slightly overexposed photo than one that is dark and underexposed. I hope also to have my DP2 Merrill come tomorrow!
