DP Merrills

Agreed. I've been using a DP2M for a couple months now and it's nuts what it's capable of for the size, price, and weight. I recently made some 16×20 prints for a show and I don't even want to know what I'd have to spend and carry to get close what the Sigma can do.

Are you only using the DP3? The DP3 is interesting for the close up ability but the DP2 focal length is perfect for the stuff I like to do and stitching is easy enough for wider shots. Just picked up the AML-2 close up attachment in anticipation of plant season.

I bought a bunch of off brand Ricoh DB-65 batteries off ebay for a couple bucks each and used a dremel to make the bottom slots fit in the sigma. Works great.

Hi Brendan, I was expecting to find threads here about this series. Surprisingly little to date however. Seems like a good fit for a UL kit.

I have and use all three. Usually take the DP1M and the DP3M, each in a waterproof Ortlieb padded pouch strapped to my hipbelt, along with a set of Lee filters. But I have also gone with just the DP2M.

The 3m and the 2M are more suited to stitching than the 1M because of the slight lack of sharpness in the corners on that latter one. But I do like the ease and simplicity of a single frame/single capture.

These are really the cameras I've been waiting for. I don't miss shooting Velvia at all. And since they are fixed lens units that are not that expensive (relatively speaking), I don't have to worry about scratches etc to the body.
