Title: Wide angle converter for Sigma DP1M
Post by: NigelC on September 30, 2015, 08:57:00 am

Since I sold my Zeiss 21mm and the Canon body it fitted I've been without anything wider than 28mm. I would like to have a 20/21mm - I could get the Oly 9-18mm but I'm much more likely to be using the DPMs for that sort of picture. Is there a converter that would work on the DPIM that wouldn't lose too much of the Merrill magic? Of course there is the DP Quattro DP0 which would be ideal except for the fact that it would be sitting at home when I needed it.

There are a couple.  The link below is a thread on another forum where someone tried the Ricoh GW3 which apparently gives a 21mm equivalent on the DP1M.

Bought Ricoh GW-3 on half price offer - worth a try, I think.
