Maybe Nikon is the one that blew it. Who is going to go out and spend 
thousands of dollars when we all know some good camera company is going to 
come out with the foveon soon? I wish it was Nikon, since all my 35 is 
already nikon.
But as has been pointed out, a totally new system, designed completely for 
digital, and at this point ,foveon digital , has to be developed. New lenses, 
bodies , everything. And you are right , it yhas to be from a top camera 
company.
I didn't know the sigma was so krappy, thanks for that info. 
Guess I'll have to wait and see what develops.What I have now will last until 
a professional foveon comes out.
