Thanks to those who were able to give comment on the virtues and
differences between the 180mm prime and 80-200 zoom. I will be going
with the zoom at this stage for it's versatility as a walk about lens.
For those interested I have uploaded a number of pictures made using the
Sigma SD14 and Leica lenses. These are available on flickr (link below)
I have not yet mastered uploading to the LUG gallery.
These shots are a mixed bag using Leica 35-70mm, 90mm Summicron and the
70-210 zoom. Also using different processing software including Sigma
and third party applications. (However I am finding that using the Sigma
software is giving the best results) Processing is mostly sharpening
and contrast enhancements so no major changes to the original capture.
I have tried to present a variety of shots under different conditions so
these are not chosen on the basis of photographic merit. Overall I think
these pics should give viewers a sense of the special quality of the
Foveon sensor. Most shots are taken in relatively low light situations
and I should add to my previous comments about this camera that noise
can be an issue. In general I prefer to shoot at 200 ISO or lower.
Hopefully Sigma can address this issue in the SD15 The sensor and
camera is definitely worth developing.
Comments welcome.
BTW I will next be looking to acquiring a wide prime and not an APO
since they are beyond my means unless someone knows of a bargain lens
somewhere. I have been considering either the 24mm or 28mm Elmarit.
