Choose your prize
The winner of Round Two - Setting the
Scene can choose products of up to
£1,000 in value (based on Sigma’s RRP)
as their prize. If the winner’s choice of
lens is above this amount, they can
choose to pay the difference. Of
particular popularity with landscape
photographers is the Sigma dp0
Quattro. One of four fi xed-lens cameras
in the Quattro range, its ultra-wide optic
is the full-frame equivalent of 21mm,
making it the ideal tool for shooting both
dramatic landscapes and eye-catching
cityscapes. Its CMOS Foveon X3 Direct
Image Sensor is unique to Sigma, and
gives rich tones and subtle gradation
throughout the image. Other cameras in
the range are the dp1, dp2 and dp3, with
28mm-, 45mm- and 75mm-equivalent
lenses, respectively. All four cameras in
the Quattro range retail at £899.99.PRIZE
