Sigma fp Full Spectrum & Standard

[colinbm]

I am starting to eat out of the hand of the two Sigma fp cameras I have, one standard & one I converted to full spectrum.

To make life a little easier for me, I now have a Canon 40 automatic pancake lens, partly UVA capable & some electrical extension tubes to match to the Sigma fp.

This Sigma fp is a very capable camera & very adaptable to many lenses through its L-mount.

I hope now, that we can be friends for a few years.

 

I have redone the Allamanda flower, after posting last week with the UVA capable Igoriginal refurbished Soligor 35mm f3.5 manual lens.

Nice and sharp. I can see how focus bracketing could help with this flower.

Great images. I find autofocus in UV is so much easier. Too bad there aren't more UV autofocus lenses. At least the Canon 40mm is a gem working for almost every camera now with adapters.

Thanks Dave

Yes a big difference & great help for my sore old eyes.

I have now a 7inch monitor for the fp, so that will make life a bit easier with the manual lenses I hope.

But most importantly the fp is a very nice camera in both configurations.

The UV photos above are at ISO 3200 & are so cool.

Yes, I was connecting my Olympus cameras to a computer and using Olympus capture. But this was really clunky and slowing things down. I have now just connect directly to the micro Hdmi port a large monitor and it works much better in live view. This should also work with my Df as well.

I am young, but seem to need AF as I just keep missing where I want to be.

 

I might also try the multi frame per second method, leaning in and out to tey and nail it or use the series for focus stacking in down stream software.
