Pete if you're going to make meaningful points in comparing two cameras you have to use the same lens on both or AT LEAST the same focal length. If you really want to properly directly compare the output from these two cameras, here is what I would do 1. Buy yourself a Pentax Takumar 50mm pr...

Another Workflow Method..
Another approach I use and am doing on the "Diva" story is this.. When the Raw image has been imported in to Camera Raw, I Sharpen at between 25-30 on the slider and 50 on Color Noise Reduction, Luminance Smoothing at Zero. Click OK. When in Photoshop, go to Layers and make a Duplica...

How accurate should the focus point be?
I'm trying to see how accurate the focusing is on my K10D because I always seem to be missing the mark and my images sometimes seem softer than I expect. Well, on my K10D, the center focus spot actually seems to be at or below the lower left corner of the spot meter circle "( )" area in...

How accurate should the focus point be?
Have you tried using the select focus point function. If you set it to centre and then take the picture do you get the same problems? In my experience the automatic function doesn't always pick the correct place to focus on and then gives the problems you describe. Also try the following link...

How accurate should the focus point be?
Yeah, I don't really care for the "random focus" feature, so I always keep it on center. Or do you mean that the manual selection set on center will actually work differently? Hmmm, I guess I could try. The first image at that link is somewhat what I was doing, but a bit more depth of ...

How accurate should the focus point be?
Your eye needs to be centred exactly in the middle of the viewfinder eyepiece, otherwise you might well get some apparent shift.

Your eye needs to be centred exactly in the middle of the viewfinder eyepiece, otherwise you might well get some apparent shift. Yes, you might need to take your eye back for re-calibration, or a replacement or refund. G

Ken Rockwell takes notice...
Photo pundit and tech blog keeper Ken Rockwell has famously been a Nikon enthusiast but has recently ratted to Canon by being seduced by the 5D... However, this interesting little observation appeared in his finalised round up of the 'PMA' show; Competitive Philosophy Pentax' ads were cute,...

Ken Rockwell takes notice...
Hi, Rockwell is one of the webs biggest idiots. He just shoots his mouth off to raise attention to his site. Many of his so-called reviews are mired with schoolboy errors and nonsense and it is very clear he does little or no research. He also contradicts himself all over the place. You show one ...

Well. Let me say first of all that so far, Pete, I've tried to be constructive. I've attempted to offer some form of defence from the onslaught of George's accurate but somewhat biting comments. But in all honesty, I get the feeling that you're young and enthusiastic, with more of an inclinat...

Don, I agree with almost EVERYTHING you say especially; I hope this board doesn't turn into one of "those" boards..... This whole forum has changed in the last few months with quite a few members (especially new ones) posting pictures more and more, and seemingly for approval rath...

I must admit I was a bit took back by how bad you thought the shots were but thats OK I can learn from mistakes hopefully. Pete, I'll say one thing for you, you take criticism incredibly well!! I'm humbled by the way you can take it on the chin, come back for more, and still stay so good-hum...

Hi Pete, a very pretty girl. A couple of things to watch out for though.. in the first shot, you seem to have a very limited DoF (IIRC, you've got a 50 1.7). It looks as though you've chosen to focus on her right eye, which (and my eyes aren't what they used to be) has thrown her left out of fo...

First picture post with K10d
The tonal quality of the green is nice, but I think you have had a problem deciding where to focus. Nowhere except a far part of one leaf is really sharp. For these sirt od shots you need very careful focusing and a small aperture to maximise depth of field. I would have used f16 for this shot. (...

Horrible purple cast, not a new species of robin
