I own the Dp1 Merrill, I’m blown away every time I see what I get. And after watching your video I found out I share the same kind of love for this camera. Btw, I use the same settings. Good to be reassured by a pro. Thanks ♥️
Thank you! I’ve had my sdQ (not the H version) for 3 years now, and this is the first truly useful SPP video I’ve seen in that time. I’m going to revisit some of the images I’ve taken with this remarkable camera with the benefit of your experience. I love your description of the camera as a ‘digital roll of film’. Every time I take it out, I’m not quite sure what I’m going to come home with :)
I can also recommend the alternative workflow with the Open Source command line tool Kalpanika/x3f_extract that can convert X3F files into14bit DNG files (that are clearly superior to the camera's own optional 12bit DNGs). These DNGs can be processed straight in Lightroom. Comparing X3Fs in Sigma Photo Pro and Kalpanika-generated DNGs in Lightroom right next to each other, I couldn't spot any differences in image/rendering quality.
Thanks so much for doing this. I have an SDQH coming from eBay in a couple of days along with an adapter so I can put my pile of Mamiya 645 lenses on the front (only getting the 35mm 1.4 native lens). This is going to be so handy to get a process going with SPP and lightroom, and I was happy to find your lightroom profile link still worked! :)
Finally!! It is good to see the Sigma SD Quattro H finally getting some (long overdue) attention. I have two Sigma SD Quattro H. One for fun and the other still brand new in box - for backup. The image quality out of the Sigma SD Quattro H is just.....speechless, like emotionally speechless 😂😂. I am a very very very very proud owner. Welcome to the Foveon family and I am loving your TH-cam videos. Keep up the good work.
Just got a SDQH and the 18-35 1.8mm. Been shooting "fast" photography a lot prior and was looking for an opportunity to be more intentional with my frames. It's only been a week of shooting but I'm already hooked. Glad I was able to track one in good shape down before more people find out about this gem!
That’s so awesome! It’s funny; I have far “fancier” cameras but when I really want to shoot, there is no other camera I reach for more quickly than the SDQH.
I am very seriously considering buying the Sigma SD Quattro. I think for my landscape work, this would be a killer camera. Great to see how you process using the Sigma Photo Pro software.
I had a sigma sd quattro a few years ago that got stolen. Watching this video, I'm realizing I really want to get it again. Everything you say about this camera is exactly how I felt!
Great - In general, I think OEM software is underrated. I'm using OM Workspace for everything OM System - just can't get the look anywhere else. Same with Sigma
I ordered a Sigma DP3 Merrill as I wanted a portrait lens with foveon colors, and now I’m going down the rabbit hole. 😂 The SD Quattro is tempting.. having had a Leica Monochrom 246 - been looking for a monochrom camera again and your video is adding another bigger boon to get the SD! 😊
Great video! I just picked up a SDQH last month and have had my first run of snaps with it the other day. I have been trying to figure out how to get the .X3F files into Lightroom. Your video did an outstanding job of explaining SPP which I now have a much different opinion of after watching your video. Thanks for taking the time to go through a batch of photos in SPP and then follow-up on them in Lightroom after! Much appreciation!
How do you like them files thou? Nice right?! I have the APS-c version and it produces my favorite files straight out of the camera. The colors and sharpness. ✨
Glad to see this video is out. Will take the time to watch. Also, not sure if my comment got auto deleted on the previous video due to a Twitter link, but the Sigma CEO had tweeted your last video on the sdQH. ☺️
The trick with the blue channel doesn't work for the quattro cameras. What it does with the Merrill is to only use the top layer of the sensor, so you don't get all the noise of the lower layers. Merrill also have quite aggressive micro contrast (mistaken for details) which can work well in B&W
I like PhotoPro. I do find it weird that you can't crop your image in PhotoPro - which forces you to move the image into another software. I usually use 'neutral' or 'teal and orange -3'. I do use the lens correction in PhotoPro - assuming Sigma knows more about their lenses than anyone else. I also keep my SD Quattro at ISO 100 always. The Sigma fp is just the opposite - great results shooting indoors at high ISO such that I keep it on ISO AUTO all the time, unless I'm trying to replicate SFD mode with the fp, using the sub-IS0 100 settings Idown to IS0 6). I'm really enjoying your videos - thank you! -Tom
Hi again: have you had any problems with using LR in post? I have noted a recent problem with my Sigma H X3 F-PS files when removing halos via the Clone Stamp in the darken blend mode as used by many in PS. The new changes in PS may be an issue ? How do you open your X3F files in LR...i''m not an LR user. LR is a parametric editor..it uses a copy of the file to edit PS is a pixel based editor operating directly on image pixels. Thanks in advanced for any help
Thank you J! I'll have to do a video about that. I still edit in SPP but there are far less options so I just mess with the sliders until I'm happy. I"ll try and capture sometime for an upload.
Thanks for the great content I received my SD and waiting for my lens 30mm to arrive tomorrow. I have the 18-35 on my list. What is your favorite lens so far? excited to get out this week and take some pics with it.
The 18-35 is definitely my go to. Just adore it but I shoot in 7x6 so the corners don't come into play. If I utilized the full frame, I'd likely have grabbed the 24-70 instead.
Hey, Alexis, I was the one commenting on your post-processing skills and asked you to make a video. I can't believe you actually did! Thank you! You diminish yourself in saying you're not doing anything special. It takes a trained eye and experience to make these decisions. Even subtle changes sometimes make a difference. That said, I'm quite surprised by the default output of SDQH and the AWB is surprisingly good! DP2 Merril is horrible in comparison. I believe highlights recovery is also better than Merrill's, but a direct comparison is needed. By the way, are you interested in making one?)
Thank you and I’m so glad you caught the video! I do now feel I need to spend more time with my DP2M because I love that camera but I’ve been shooting with the H so much that I can’t really remember what I did to my Merrill files. So that will have to happen soon :)
@@OneMonthTwoCameras Yay! ^__^ You're already becoming my favorite person on TH-cam :) Actually I've commented yesterday but the comment was deleted for some reason. By the way, do you have a Flickr account?
How would you compare the SD Quattro to the Merrill cameras from an image quality or film-like perspective? I own the DP Merrills and used to own a SD Quattro APS-C with the 50-100 f/1.8, which I truly loved using, but the weight prevented me from being a "natural" photographer. I felt that I had to struggle to hold the gear long enough to compose the shot I was aiming for.
Very nice video. My experience is that I set it to smooth and bump up sharpness, rather than setting it towards crisp and drop sharpness. This is because the smooth - crisp can be very aggressive and you get black contrast lines where there should not be any. Sharpness doesn't do this. I don't like Portrait either as it smoothens the image.
@@OneMonthTwoCameras BTW I really appreciate your videos on the Foveon cameras. The imported x3f is the same 16 bitt TIFF that you export from SPP and according to Sigma HQ literally 45 minutes from my home here in Japan, they claim that it is a RAW file however my close friends who are Sigma pro users do not agree. For skin tones, the Foveon in the SD Q line up and Quattro are not the same as the DP and Merrill cameras. The SD Q are three layers but have a dominant one unlike the equally divided ones found in the DP and Merrill. I've spoken with Sigma here about this and they are developing a new equally divided Foveon like the SD 1 which still resolves like no other. This is one reason why skin tones can be challenging with the x3, in fact I cringe when I have dark skinned clients but I found some LR skin tone presets that fix this quickly. One thing and I am not sure you mentioned it, you can remove the IR filter, turning the camera into an instant infrared camera and when you put the Kolari IR Chrome filter on it you have some truly unique imagery.
Once again, than your for this as I am really really going down that foveon rabbit whole, at least theoretically as I am still not sure what to buy. SD quattro vs SD1 vs SD merril..as you own the SDQ and the merril a quick comparison would be highly appreciated 🙋♂️
It really depends what you most enjoy shooting. I love the Merrill but find it almost too sharp and crunchy for people or portraits. But brilliant for landscape. My personal choice is the Quattro just because it is a bit more flexible and versatile.
Thank you so much for the wonderful guide to SPP and all of your insights into this funky a.h. system! It's a breath of fresh air for me too ☺️ Loved your review of the camera and lenses also 🥰 I have the non-H: I really want to try out your LR profile. I'm just wondering if the one true camera is still the sd H, or whether the M8 has stolen your heart completely...
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I am still deeply in love with my SDQH. I would need to take this and the M8 if left on a desert island. I think they sort of excel in different areas - the SDQH is unbeatable for nature/landscape and the M8 is great for lifestyle/people. As such, I am forced to keep them both :)
Congrats on another great vid! From my experience the light source priority WB setting is still rather cool but definitely better than auto. I just shoot with the sunlight preset and that made all the difference. Have you ever selected auto mode and let sigma photo pro make the adjustments? I use this occasionally and just tweak the exposure as things can get rather dark and punchy.
I've just tried affinity photo on an x3f file and it's looking good (I already own this software as a Photoshop replacement). Would be interested in you trying this (inexpensive) software to see if it's easy to use to get your look? (As a comparison to SPP moreso than lightroom). Thank you 🙂 Love all your visa btw 😃
Hi. I'm a little confused with the title(ie- editing a Sigma H) vs the lens listed 18-35 DC Art. The H requires a full frame lens for coverage , the DC lens is for the smaller C size sensor. Sigma doesn't list an 18-35 DG lens . Are you getting full frame sensor coverage with this DC lens or using the SD Quattro not the SD H Thanks in advance for clarifying. Ben
The 18-35mm works fine on the SDQH. There is just a slight bit of vignetting. If you want my SDQH review, the majority of photos were shot with the 18-35mm.
Thanks for the reply. I enjoyed following your editing steps...well done. I'm surprised you can further edit in LR; are you shooting DNG? Hope I may contact again with more Q's Ben
@@OneMonthTwoCameras overall, can you recommend 1 best foveon camera? I prefer 28mm, but there is DP1, DP1s, DP1x, DP1 Merrill, PD1q - don't understand difference between them, give your advice please, 1 best. I don't understand, looks like there are different sensors in some of them? First 3 are same camera with some tweaks, but Merrill is already have different sensor? Thank you in advance.

Hi Kenneth, unfortunately none of the earlier Merrill or original DP line have the ability to utilize all the features in SPP. I have one of each range and only the Quattro sensor can unlock all the capabilities of SPP.

Hi, I found that lifting the shadows at +3 in combination with the special HDR fill light between +2+3 max looks sometime more natural then boosting the HDR fill light too much
@@OneMonthTwoCameras did you also notice a difference between lowering down the exposure by -1-3 to recover highlights and then open the shadows and contrast instead of totally bumping down the highlights ?
