Critique Welcomed Finally Got Out With The DP1

[Brian Moore]

One of the great things to happen in this country in the last few years is the hundreds of micro-breweries that have opened up and that make wonderful beers. There are two within easy walking distance of my house.

Yesterday I got a chance to take the ex-MacKillop Sigma DP1 Merrill for a walk to the micro-breweries.

I want to love this camera but I can tell it is going to be a tough love. At least initially. I'm very happy with the image quality, but it is a very slowwwww camera to use. (My manual film cameras are much faster.)

These look great, Brian. The camera has coped well with the low-ish light in the first. I love the second, Meg having a drink. What great eyes she has. Is the last image set for Foveon Blue?

Thanks, Rob. I didn't set it for Foveon Blue. I don't actually know what that's for yet.

It just gives a blue-ish tinge, which this image has. Looks good.

A cracking set, Brian. I know what you mean about the cameras but I forgive them their quirks due to the amazing image quality and tonal rendering. And this comes over in spades in these image. Like Rob, I love that shot of Meg. Those eyes!

Thanks Pete. Much appreciated.

I too take part in the choir of praise and must admit that although slow as an old man gets, the camera suits him well. Have a happy spring over there. It seems that happiness prevails. That's contagious. But what happened to Rob? Has he dismissed his faith in Merlin?

Thanks, Ivar. Happy spring to you as well. As for Rob,...I think he has gone full circle,...film-->digital--->film. Its a good place to be.
