OMG! This is absolutely gorgeous! Gorgeous pano image! Due to the limitation of the 46mm lens of the DP2M I find myself to shoot pano more with the camera to get wider view for landscape images.
I like to know if you used vertical frames or horizontal frames to stitch this pano image? And did you use Nodal plate to move the camera a little bit behind the center of the tripod? Thanks! Here is the latest pano of the fall scene I shot the day before, 3 horizontal frames with DP2M.

Gorgeous shot. I live in Arizona now. I bought the DP2M for landscape mostly. I am just trying to figure out what a good, light weight, versatile tripod would be good for this camera. Having never purchased a tripod, or shot landscapes, I am totally confused at what to get. I am thinking Really Right Stuff L grip for the Sigma, and then a portable, carbon fiber tripod and maybe a ball head? I have no clue. Also, what accessories did you guys get and where the heck do you get them? I would love the viewfinder if it is a good product to use, but I only see the one for DP1M. Also, what about the lens hood? a camera case? What strap for around the neck? Anyone pimp out there camera? Sedona Arizona on a breathtakingly beautiful Sunday. ISO 100, f6.3, 1/800.  |

Lainer: I bought the RRS plate/grip for my 1 and 2...OUTSTANDING. I actually dropped my DP2 before getting the grip, so I really appreciate it. This camera is just that much better with a tripod, and my small, light tripod is the Promaster T525P carbon fiber with a Sunway ArcaSwiss style head.
Sigma hoods, no case, Domke small canvas bag holds the 1 and 2 at the same time. I use B&H almost exclusively for purchase.

The only problem is, I never bought a tripod before. I know I should buy the RRS L plate at least. It makes sense. Now as for a tripod, I'd like something light, maybe a carbon fiber as I hear they are better to stop vibration and aren't cold to the touch in cold weather. Like I said, I really have no clue when it comes to tripods. I don't want to buy something that is too big, or crummy. but I don't want to buy something that is overkill. It's all confusing to me.

Quick question about VF21 viewfinder - does it have dioptric adjustment - does it need it for folks who need specs for close vision? (not sure of the optical principles of direct vision viewfinders)

I would by a L-plate from RRS - a small RRS ballhead - and a carbonfibre tripod from Velbon ( i bought one very cheap and it is just very well made and light ) The RRS is good but very expensive(6x) ...i do not think it will make the difference... and do not forget a remote control to avoid camera shake.. I use the light Velbon as well as a 7 KG tripod with my nikon d800 but must say the Velbon never lets me down... i love L-plates and the ballheads from RRS -i have the bh40 and the smallest ; the latter will be sufficient for this merrill and is very lightweight |

After following this forum I purchased a DP2m for my landscape images. I have just returned from a trek through the Western Arthur Range in southwest Tasmania and wish to share some images with this forum. During the trip I manages to shoot 169 images on less than 2 batteries, with some minor editing, I used an OVF to save on the LCD.

The VF1 does not have dioptic adjustment, but I can use it either with my reading glasses on or off. When I don't use my glasses the image in the finder is less focussed although the frame line seems unaffected. I tend to find using it without glasses easier despite less clarity, but this may be a personal preference. |

Just out of interest what strength are your reading glasses? |

Thanks for the response to my query. Is Velbon a brand name? I've never heard of it. I like the L plate from RRS. Can it be used on other tripods? I don't know anything about tripods. I would by a L-plate from RRS - a small RRS ballhead - and a carbonfibre tripod from Velbon ( i bought one very cheap and it is just very well made and light )
The RRS is good but very expensive(6x) ...i do not think it will make the difference...
and do not forget a remote control to avoid camera shake..
I use the light Velbon as well as a 7 KG tripod with my nikon d800 but must say the Velbon never lets me down...
i love L-plates and the ballheads from RRS -i have the bh40 and the smallest ; the latter will be sufficient for this merrill and is very lightweight

What remote control would you use for a Sigma DP2M? I have no idea. Thanks! I would by a L-plate from RRS - a small RRS ballhead - and a carbonfibre tripod from Velbon ( i bought one very cheap and it is just very well made and light )

Lainer, I use a DP2M with the Vf21. I need glasses to read,-250 to 275, and have no problem with the viewfinder. The viewfinder is so small I don't even know its there but it's great in bright sun. The Voitlander finder is a better optic, but is a bit bigger. My 2 cents on the L bracket and grip is this....I love the merrill because it is small and light, so why put a big heavy RRS bracket and grip on it. Richard Feneric makes a grip that is small ,light and works great. I walk around all day with the Merrill just hanging on my finger, and even with bad arthritis I don't even feel it. I have his grip on all my cameras. For an L bracket I use the fabulous JTEC bracket. Again small and light. Just some other options for you to Google and check out......Max

Lainer & maxgruzen:
The remote is not necessary, as there are delay shutter settings on the Merrill. And, the RRS grip is (to me...) not at all heavy, but a bit larger than the Franiec grip alone. This provides extra grip, at the trade off of slightly larger size.
