SD1 "Wood Edition"

[Red Robin]

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!"

😀

I'll ask my dentist whether he'll buy one... no, wait, that's probably not a good idea.

 

[Out to Lunch]

I already got one....just kidding.

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.

Nah, I'll keep waiting for the pink fur coated edition.

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.

Wood-a, shoulda, coulda.

It reminds me of the finish on a coffin.
