SA-mount 17-50mm f/2.8
SA-mount 50mm f/2.8 Macro EX DG -
The 56mm F1.4 one with Fuji X mount.
80-400 with Canon mount. (lovely lens, but it's quite big!!!)Alan
-
Sigma AF 150-600 mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C and the Sigma AF 100-400 mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C both Canon EF mount
-
The 30 & 56 f1.4's in m4/3 mount. Both wonderful lenses, in pure IQ the 56 is a little bit better near wide open, the 30 a more used focal length for me.

56 f1.4 EF-M

Yes, I like that cheap little 55-200mm so much, I bought it in 3 different mounts. It's a cracking little lens.
-
85mm DG DN and it's my favourite and most used FF lens.
I've also had the 35mm/f1.2 DG DN and 150-600mm Contemporary for FF and 18-35mm for APSC.

150-600mm F/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C
24-70mm F/2.8 DG OS Art
24-105mm F/4 DG OS Art
70-200mm F/2.8 DG OS Sports
Looking at the 28mm F/1.4 Art (rented once) but can't decide between this FL or a 35mm F/1.4.
All are Canon EF mount and all are great quality and very sharp lenses once calibrated. -
As a Sigma SD14 user, I've got couple of (older) SA mount lenses. In order of appearance:
18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS (was included as kit lens, rarely used)
105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro (just a very good lens, esp for manual focusing)
10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM (older model, a bit decentered at some focal lengths)
17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro (my favourite universal lens)I've got few more very old Sigma lens (from some bay area), but they are either out of order or just not up to standards :)
Sigma 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 APO DL (converted to M42, practically not usable - there are some mechanical problems, it may be created from different lens parts)
Sigma 28-70mm F2.8-4 UC Zoom (a bit low contrast, flares, not very sharp - 17-70 above is much better) -
Sigma 105mm F1.4 Art EF mount. My only sigma lens, though I am looking at getting a few more. Some of the sigma lenses adapts very nicely with my Fuji body.

Old 12-24 with broken autofocus but still WIDE
Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art my number one rebuy lens after death and reincarnation
18-35mm f/1.8 because anything else doesn't feel right on my R7 for walkaround stuff
35mm f/1.4 Art it's nice, but I would like the 28 or 40 at some point for crazy wide open sharpness and less chromatic abberation.Used to have a 150-600mm sport in EF mount. Great lens although heavy, which is the reason I sold it.
Practicly gave away an old EF 28-70mm f/2.8 to a friend of mine, which gave a very nice vintage look to pictures at all focal lengths and I kinda miss it. -
Hi,
I have an old 105mm Macro of the Nikon AFD variety.
And a 150-600 Contemporary.
That's it. Both used on a Df at this point. Sometimes an F5. Which is why I opted for the 150-600 from Sigma over the Nikkor 200-500. An F5 can't use an Electronic Aperture lens.
That macro lens has been around a long time. Since my F4 I think.

45mm f/2.8 DG DN
24mm f/3.5 DG DN
90mm f/2.8 DG DNInterested by the 24-70mm f/2.8 too
good, but I'm always a bit frustrated by the sharpness of my raws (Sigma fp) but maybe it's just me pixelpeeping too hard...
Maybe a newbie question, but are the color mode settings applied to raws or are they there only for jpg rendition?Greg
-
They are used by Sigma Photo Pro as the starting point when you open the RAW file in it. Lightroom does support camera profiles from the fp, but I don't think it applies the camera profile on its own.
With Sigma cameras I always set the sharpness setting of the color mode to -1 in the camera so that Sigma Photo Pro uses that as a starting point - and so the OOC JPEGs aren't over-sharpened. To be honest, I very rarely convert RAW files outside the camera since dp2 Quattro gained the excellent in-camera RAW converter that the fp also inherited.

Processing in SPP6.8.2 @gregvds
Personally, I use SPP6.8.2 for my RAW all the time, all the way on my Sigma photos, ie I don't further process in other programs except for an occasional crop/straighten in another free program. Big however, all my Sigma cameras are Foveon-based. I am not familiar with the fp (non Foveon sensor) as to whether they process similarly. I won't go into detail on my settings unless someone else replies to that question. Then I'd be glad to detail what I do in SPP. Here's one I've just processed from Mesa Verde DP2Merrill. It's not online, so I'll see if I can upload a small version directly from my computer. I'll try a quality 8 JPEG which is 3MB. Quality10 was too large to directly upload to DPRevived. Normally I save all JPEGs at maximum quality 12, in the case of this photo, that's 14.10MB. Essentially first I select the 'best' white balance, then the colormode which gives the 'best' result to what I'm trying to achieve. Then I adjust the colorwheel and the sliders. Yes, I sharpen to my taste in SPP too.

Jpg looks excellent, wouldn't worry about trying for higher quality for the forum.
