The raw files are just too big to email, and the sigma raw software is only used to output to tiff for further work in lightroom (such as cropping or export to jpeg). But I have some jpegs in full size I can email you if you like. Or better still - I will put them on drop box and email you the link. What's your email?<br /><br />/AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709537690528523236.post-71262363626649196812014-03-07T18:35:13.861+10:002014-03-07T18:35:13.861+10:00PS Alex ... if you have a raw file from one of the...PS Alex ... if you have a raw file from one of them I'd love to see it.obakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709537690528523236.post-41587941569014242042014-03-07T18:34:40.246+10:002014-03-07T18:34:40.246+10:00Alex, actually, sadly I've not been able to ge...Alex, actually, sadly I've not been able to get my hands on the Sigmas.

Take a look at the Pentax K01, it just can not be made thin even though it has no mirror.Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709537690528523236.post-20668900274402326892014-03-05T19:00:26.336+10:002014-03-05T19:00:26.336+10:00Hey Anon/Alex

I was against EVF's (being horrid pixelated crap) until the G1 came out, since then they iteratively get better.<br /><br />The think I love about an EVF is that I can quickly magnify and check focus (unlike whapping on an expensive accessory magnifying optical view finder), better yet I'm checking focus on the taking sensor and don't have to worry about focus screen - sensor alignment issues.<br /><br />I loved my Pentax MX finder too, I was quite sad when a house break-in saw it stolen. While I love my OM-1 I really prefer the LED series up the side that the MX had. Wonderful compact cameras those early Pentax cameras.<br /><br />:-)obakesanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743339737847465926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1709537690528523236.post-45767996313038272612014-03-05T18:31:35.411+10:002014-03-05T18:31:35.411+10:00I tried a friends a7r at work yesterday.

Except for digital indications of over exposing (zebra blinking) I thought there wasn't that much difference to optical viewfinder of a digital slr. (My analog Pentax MG viewfinder beats everything.)<br /><br />/AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
