Two days later, I rode past the same field, this time with the Sigma DP1 in my underseat bag on the bike. I stopped in what I recalled was the same spot as on Sunday’s ride, but about 2 hours later in the day.
The haystacks had been brought in. The wider lens on the DP1 renders the scene differently, but the image quality difference is quite striking, especially when view full size on the monitor or as prints.
Maybe on my next ride I’ll drag along the Nikon D80 with the 24mm f/2.8 or 50mm f/1.8 and try yet another rendering.
