Overview / 概要

Why Sigma dp2 Quattro matters.

The dp2 Quattro shows that a camera can be interesting precisely because it refuses to optimise for every kind of photography.

Design & context

The extended handgrip and flat lens body are shaped around the sensor and the act of slow, deliberate capture.

Buying today

Its workflow is specialised; expect slower operation and choose it for the rendering, not convenience.
