Sigma Dp1 Merrill

The Dp1 Merrill's "working" ISO's is up to 200 and 400 for BW. But it's still possible to capture at low light.

I always hesitated to buy the Sigma DP1M, because I had already the DP2M and DP3M at that time. I should have bought it.

Later, I sold all my DPMs to have the liquidity for L-Mount in the hope for an L-Mount Foveon camera. That was obviously too early.

Nowaday the Sigma DPMs cost used almost more than new when they were introducing the Quattro line.

Hopefully, we will see again Foveon cameras with the "true" Foveon sensor like the Merrils.
My DP1M cost £300 many years ago. I turned down a pair of DP1M and DP3M for £350 and later got a DP3M for £250. What a blunder!

These days, I tend to use a Sony, but the Merrills are still there for lightweight trips.
