Sigma DPI


Here are corner crops of some better known wide angle conversion lenses just to see which might be worth further testing.

These lenses were mounted to the DP1 using either our 52mm or 58mm (not production) adapters which are the same length as the OEM DP1 adapter, which is just long enough to allow clearance using conventional filters. When necessary (as with the Olympus WCON-07s 55mm thread) a step ring was used. These are 200px by 300px, 100% crops of upper left corner shot at f10.

Most of the results aren't very impressive, but two of them - the Ricoh DW-6 .79x (designed for the GX100) and the Nikon WC-EC75 (designed for the Coolpix 8400) look promising. See next page for detailed comparison of these two lenses.
