Beautiful images !

Spent yesterday at the Beaulieu Autojumble with the LX100. It turned out to be pretty versatile. Some shots were taken inside the museum. Here the lighting is mostly pretty even, but even with the lens wide open, 1/60th sec. was called for if I called up 200 ISO. Although the camera does have...

Thanks for the kind words Jock. And thanks for the very informative links. So much more user friendly than the Lumix instruction manual. Richard

I only decided on the LX100 a few weeks ago. For the last few years i had been using a Samsung EX1 + a pair of Sigma's ( DP1 and DP2 ). The Samsung really was an exceptional camera in many ways. The Sigma's were capable of exceptional images ------ when they were in the mood and conditions were...

I recently sold my early Sigma DP1 and Samsung EX1 and used the proceeds to buy a Lumix LX100. Before selling them I took them both to the Beaulieu Spring show This is a typical Sigma ' Kodachrome ' look shot And this with the multi talented Samsung The Samsung was also responsible...

These are not re touched black and white images. They are timeless early Autochrome shots taken in 1913 by Colonel Mervyn O Gorman. On show at the ' Drawn by Light ' exhibition at the Science Museum. Could easily have been taken last week .

No idea what 'Tao' means, but my old small sensor Samsung EX1 produces brilliant results across the board when viewed on a 24 " monitor - might be a problem with life size images ? F1.8 lens means I can shoot hand held in very dim light utilizing dual image stabilization, and I can shoot ground...

All quiet on the Hamble waterfront today Went for a walk down by the river at Hamble this morning with the DP1S . Completely deserted . Very quiet and just a bit eerie .

Great shots - For me colour is much more interesting in those images

We're forever being told about the tragic consequences of shooting a DP higher than 100 or at best 200 ISO. I beg to differ. These shots were taken with a standard non Merrill DP2 with a Sigma AML 2 close up attachment lens. All were quickly taken and were hand held . Ignore the fading (...

Nice weather down here in Southampton yesterday and the garden saw an explosion of purples, lilacs and greens - so out came the DP2 http: Well camouflaged yellow snake getting in on the act ------...

Getting up close in Macro mode with my old Samsung EX1

Excellent squirrel pics !! Are they one handed shots ? Or is that someone else'e hand ?

Sunshine in the UK yesterday so gave the DP2 a trip to the garden

Thanks for the reminder Thanks for the reminder. I needed pics of some of my Deco bits for the insurance.

BB. The link is Sigma - Sigma DP Series Image Thread Barrie. I will experiment with downsizing the images before posting here in the future , and I might try some other hosting sites as Bucket now really doesn't do any justice to the Foveon images. This image was transferred directly...

Whoops ! Just caught up with this post and it looks like i'm the cause of this mayhem - not sure how though ? Iv'e been using the free edition of Photobucket for many years without any serious problems. I have this very simple agreement with Photobucket. I upload a detailed sharp and...

Beaulieu Spring Autojumble Very warm down here in Hampshire yesterday , so I decided to wander off to the Spring Autojumble at Bealieu . I thought it might be interesting to test my new old DP2 ( non Merrill ). Entrance fee includes the famous motor museum. Photography inside the museum...

I've been testing the AML1 close up lens that came with my recently acquired old DP2 . My initial thoughts were that this attachment rendered images a trifle soft . Stopping down the lens made little difference. After looking at the crops , I'm now not so sure. Here's a few shots of 1960 's...

Great shots !

The last few weeks have seen the arrival of a mint used Sigma DP2 ( original non Merrill ) and a visiting neighbours cat. She is a friendly and very chatty little dark tortoiseshell ( apparently they are almost exclusively female ). I thought I would test the Sigma's focusing to see if was as...

I was recently given some stirling advise by forum members when I was looking for a 2nd / 3rd camera to back up my small sensor Samsung EX1 for close up and still work. After much thought I decided against a DP Merrill for the time being, as I often picture watches and ultra high definition...

I would appreciate some advice from Sigma owners. Here's my dilemma.. I currently use a Samsung EX1 and am very pleased with the general quality of the images and versatility of the camera. However, I am now taking more macro shots and the the EX1 uses it's widest 24 mm setting for macro work...

Cute kitty pic lovers look away now ! :smile: I just stumbled across some of the last snaps that I took before selling my old Contax and going digital. Around 15 years ago the neighbours across the road bought a very big dog. Their 24 year old moggy wasn't consulted and in disgust he...

In the early 80 's just before buying a Contax 137 SLR I tried out an R system Leica. I found it a bit outdated and heavy at the time but always thought it a great looker. I kept the Contax for many years and eventually exchanged it ( and the lovely Zeiss Planar 'T' lens ) for a digital...

I once did a sales trip to Greenland . It involved a lot of cold calling.

Here's my old loop frame 1910 Rudge Whitworth currently being very slowly restored :wink:

I bought the Samsung EX1 for its lens speed and wide angle of view ( have no interest in telephoto lenses ). I have been waiting for availability and a price drop of the difficult to obtain ( in the UK ) Samsung X 0.7 LWCEX01 super wide attachment. The recommended price of this lens was £...

Exceptionally silly snap I took about 35 years ago in the Algarve with a seriously compact point & shoot 35mm Voightlander from memory.:rolleyes: Richard

Eventually managed to sort the problem by resetting the camera back to it's 'out of the box' setting. Richard

I have a Samsung EX1 and cannot upload RAW images. Basic system info. Windows Vista 32 bit Kingston 8GB card The camera came with the most counter intuitive software I've ever used called Intelli Studios. This is apparently the same as Silkypics. The disk also allowed me to upload...

After 8 months of EX1 ownership my camera continues to frustrate and delight. Going back to old film days my favourite lens has always been 24mm wide angle. Even more so with digital, due to simple cropping. The EX1 lens zoom starts at 24mm and it's F1.8 aperture sealed the package for me. My...

my Ex1 is a Samsung and has a fixed lens :wink: Why do all these new cameras have such similar names ? Causes plenty of pointless market place confusion. We now seem to have EX1 EX2 X-E1 RX1 NEX7 XPRO1 GX1 X10 X100 RX100 XR10 ERX100 etc. etc. Blimey !! Whats wrong wth Canon...

I see a raging bull , the sign of a Lamborghini. The day I picked up my 1973 Lamborghini Urraco ( named after a little bull ) over 20 years ago.

My Kodachrome efforts are mostly holiday shots taken with my old Contax 137MA in the late 80's / early nineties. From Bali Local kids messing about on the beach ( and what a lovely beach it was ! ) Beachcombers on the same beach later that day...

As previously stated nearly all of these 7-8 year old camera's can be picked off a skip or bought for next to nothing. But as always there is an exception to this rule - The 2003 Leica Digilux 2. Hardly a compact, but values have been rising to a level where a good un will set you back more...

Wow ! The images taken with your Sigma are sensational. No need for a big zoom there then ? Keep up the good work !

I don't own a Fuji X100, but have noticed potential owners concerns regarding the limitations of only having a 35mm option for a lens without a zoom. Well, I keep an old 'toy' device in my car for emergencies. It's called a Kodak Easyshare C310 and can currently be purchased on fleabay for...
