Hi Kevin,
no problem with passing along my 'notes' on Sigma dSLRs and R glass usage. I
would note that if you are shooting IR photography - the Sigma dSLRs give
almost
instant access for shooting IR Digitally. The latest SD1 may differ, of course,
but the IR Blocking Filter in all the previous ones is in a User Removable
Assembly sitting between the Lens Mount and the Shutter. Bayonet a lens off,
turn a screw, and tilt it out - easy breezy. Were I not wedded to a burning
desire to shoot in any weather/any conditions/any environment I would seriously
consider moving away from Canon EOS-1's and L lenses to shoot with Sigmas due
to
the IR thing. Recently, I spent two hours sailing on a Tall-Ship in mist,
drizzle, fog, and rain. My hands were literally shaking with the desire to just
say F***-It and sacrifice my 20D to the Rain to capture the gorgeous images I
was seeing all around me.
Peace Everyone
Richard in Michigan

Walter and Richard,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and advice. I figured it
would be too easy for the new SIGMA SD1 to offer a solution for R-glass. Will
stick to R6.2 and R8 with ADOX and other films and developers recommended by
Erwin Puts over the last 24 months or so. Having a lot of fun doing that
actually. Also, very pleased with Rollei IR 400 film, produces stunning B&W
shots, especially in best light. Otherwise, nearly resigned to buying a
digital
option apart from Leica.
Cheers,
Kevin
