Re: [Digital BW] Foveon sensor.. ?????

2013-11-28 by David Kachel

It looks like it's set up to only take Sigma lenses but I've tracked down a
lens plate for Leica R lenses and their is apparently someone doing a camera
rework that will let one use Nikon AIs lenses.. If I could get the body to
accept my lenses I'd honestly be tempted maybe. Anyway I'm just trying to
understand more right now.. You can't import the files from the SD1 into LR
..  The whole thing is kinda weird as Sigma makes lenses for virtually any
camera maker  but this with thing their keeping it in a box or so it seems.

Their real 15 (claimed 45) megapixel sensor will outperform other
manufacturers real 15 megapixel cameras, or so I have heard. The problem is
that you can buy four or five real 25 megapixel cameras for what one of
their 15 megapixel cameras costs, with change left over. AND(!) you have to
use overpriced, low quality Sigma lenses to boot! I looked and looked at
these cameras a few years ago and could not find justification for buying
one. And, I just went to their web site and it appears they haven't changed
their marketing plans at all.
