Torrential rains and overly-gusty winds pelt San Diego Thanksgiving Day 2019. I mark the moment with the first photo from Sigma fp and 45mm F2.8 DG DN | C lens. The last letter refers to “Contemporary”. The kit arrived eight days earlier, but I waited to take the first shot—so that it would be memorable, which it’s not. I put the quest for the Holy photo behind me and set instead to practical matters.
The water droplets on my home office window serve as a quick test of the fp’s autofocus capabilities and image quality—how much detail is revealed.
The Sigma shooter satisfies so far—not that one pic is much of a measure. But, hey, miniature palm trees within the droplets encourage me.
This crop is a JPEG converted from camera RAW, which for this camera, like my Leica Q, is DNG.
Annoyingly, the power switch is left, rather than right with the shutter button. Placement makes startup and shooting an annoyingly two-hand operation.
You screw the thing in or out with a coin. It's part of the camera's modular design--adding what you want attached when needed.
I used a flat field from another lens, because flat field for Funleader has to be so strong the noise near the edges is overwhelming (and RT isn’t great at noise suppression in my hands).
Ultima luce, primi brividi
C’è quell’attimo — breve, impaziente — in cui il giorno non vuole ancora farsi notte. E allora esplode in un guizzo di colore puro. Una bitta, un salvagente, il crepuscolo di aprile che li accarezza sul molo del traghetto di Cavo, all’isola d’Elba, con la delicatezza di una vecchia Velvia: saturazioni piene, ombre profonde, poesia nautica in technicolor.
