Great camera, great watch!

Hey guys, anyone picked up a DP0 Quattro? It seems like ultra wide is a great nitch for a matched mirrorless lens/sensor pairing. I'm considering picking one up instead of a Samyang 14 for the K-1.

No but I am very tempted by the thought of the ultra-wide lens and the available 21:9 aspect ratio. Seems like a great panoramic landscape camera. I am concerned about the size of the lens poking out. Looks pretty unwieldy.

Ha yeah, it looks like the designers were trying to minimize volume of the camera, while maximizing volume of the space you need to store it.

I got a new (to me) Merrill DP2 this weekend.

I shot a couple of photos after work yesterday to test the camera out. The sky was setting up to have a nice sunset, but heavy clouds over the mountains didn't let the sunset have the colors I was hoping for.

Anyway here are a couple. I'm starting to see what all the fuss is about with these Foveon sensors! I'm already seeing close to what I get out of large format Velvia with this camera. Even though this wasn't the greatest sunset, I still got some nice colors. The detail and color gradation in the full size image is outstanding. This web-based size really doesn't do the sensor justice.

And here is a B&W conversion. I can see I'll be shooting a lot of B&W with this camera as well. It really looks film-like to me, especially at higher ISO's.

As a large format and medium format film shooter, the workflow and shooting at low ISO's is a normal thing for me. I've had Pentax DLSRs and have a D600, but still prefered to shoot with large format film, both B&W and slide film. Now, with this camera, I am finally starting to get the color depth and detail that I've been missing with all my other DLSR's. I'll still shoot large format film, but I think the DP2 Merrill will take the place of all my medium format gear.

I have both a DP2M and an SD1M which is an awesome BW camera. You will not be disappointed.

It's been ages since I took my DP 2 with me.

DP2M ... don't you love the way clouds are rendered by the Sigma!
