Wow! What is this striped tree?
I have never held a DP in my hands...have always felt it could be almost like using a ground glass view camera... Do they make one with a flip screen yet?
I have a Hoodman loupe . It's good enough to aid composition and check exposure in bright light.
Larch family BB. I have a Hoodman loupe . It's good enough to aid composition and check exposure in bright light.
For me, when required, a coat pulled up over my head and draped over the top of the camera. Very old fashioned but then I'm very retro . Memo, must get a piece of black cloth, wish list, new knees

I am evaluating adding some sort of viewfinder to my Sigmas, I am finding situations where a viewfinder would be useful.
I am also considering to buy the DP3 and I believe a viewfinder would make the camera more effective for taking portraits and in general in situations with low light that can lead to blurred shots.
Would be great if you can share some thoughts and experiences about using a loupe with the Sigmas
Barrie. I bought the Hoodman primarily for hand held work. I don't get on shooting at arms length . Being able to brace the camera against my head in the traditional way makes it so much better. It even works great using it on my phone.
Thanks, Garry - re the Larch tree. My naturalist friend wonders if it was originally from Asia - as I described your photo to her. Our Larch trees are different. But wait - what am I thinking we have our resident naturalist, Barrie! Barrie, can you take your head out from under your coat for a minute and scroll back to look at Gary's tree photo?
I enjoy viewing those extremely sharp Foveon images and have been visiting the Fotogenerell blog for some time now. It belongs to a guy who only uses Sigma cameras and lenses. He has a SD1M, DP2M, DP3M and a lot of nice glass. Check out his Flickr sets, he has taken some very impressive images.
