SD1 "Wood Edition"

I can hear the Sigma design planers now. "Well the boss said we have to come up with something new to boost up our brand appeal." "I know; how about that Leica knockoff that's on *-Bay!?!" "Yeah! Only modern and shiny!" "OK, let's take it to the boss." And the rest is, ah, history. Anybody wanna buy a piece of history. .. ... AND it'll match your pipe!

The more I look at this thing the more I'm convinced it belongs in a jar of formaldehyde in a tent in a freak show somewhere ... with a guy out the front barking:

"Come and see the word's ugliest camera!"

:D

I wooden want to see that.
 
I'd say that finish looks fine in the interior of a Jaguar. But looks very weird on a DSLR.

It's suitable for a LF view camera, though.
 
Even if it is real wood, it may as well be plastic with that brittle looking polyurethane coating. Maybe a more subdued finish to give it a hand-rubbed look would have been not-quite so gaudy.
