Popular Post benqui Posted May 4 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 4 Advertisement (gone after registration) This was my first test of the Sigma BF with the 2/65 and the 2.8/45 lenses. Normally I always used a viewfinder but after some minutes it was very easy to take the photos without the viewfinder. The focus was very fast, the camera worked without and problems. I also took some videos during the shooting, which was also without any problems. The colors are very natural, the conversion into b/w worked also very good. The only thing which was really very bad was the battery. After 2 1/2 hours it was empty. But as soon as extra batteries are available, this problem should be solved. To sum up, the Sigma BF is for me a very good camea for portraits and (maybe this is the most important thing), it is so much fun to use it. I will show you some photos of this shooting….

But to be honest you fell comfortable after a short time and i did not miss it. But I have to see how it works in bright light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a viewfinder is the main thing that has kept me from purchasing a Ricoh GR IIIx. I'll be interested in your experience shooting the Sigma BF outside on a sunny day 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested in your experience shooting the Sigma BF outside on a sunny day I also thought that a need a viewfinder because I like this kind of 3D feeling when you look through it. But it was really very easy. Unfortunately it is raining now in my area, but as soon as I test it under bright light, you are the first who will get the news! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart, now I had time to test the BF in bright light. With the sun in my back it was easy to use, with light from the side it was good, but a bit unusual if you come from a conventional viewfinder 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted June 11 Share #16 Posted June 11 This week's Amateur Photographer magazine (UK) has full test of the BF. Praised for its stylish design, super-simple operation and internal storage, the negatives are mediocre battery life, fixed screen, no viewfinder, no image stabilisation. As regards the screen for outside use in bright daylight the tester reported that "too much of the time I found myself 'composing' my shots based on little more than guesswork and with little idea of precisely where the camera had focussed". An overall positive report, given four stars. Well worth reading if at all interested in this stylish and innovative camera. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with the negatives but in practice the most annoying part for me is the very short battery life. After two hours of shooting portraits the battery is almost empty.
