Have a look at his Potatoes image. I love the smooth tonality transitions.
If you want to fully appreciate it, download Issue 17 of F11-magazine, scoot to page 86, and watch it full screen on a calibrated monitor (not too close though, as the resolution isn't quite up there). Amazing.

Sure, but LR does a whole lot more than PDCU4

Never really thought about this problem before. The link to Tim Parkin's article via Lee filters is really worth reading

I popped into Jessops in York and after listening to the salesman 'pushing' Canon and Nikon for no other reason than 'They're what everyone buys', I said, 'Ok, who makes's good cameras that no-one buys then?, to which he replied, 'Pentax. Great cameras and lenses, but they're not Nikon or Canon'.
Considering myself to be an individual, (or naively being in the grasp of the world's greatest salesman), I immediately bought a Pentax MX-7 SLR (light, with AF, etc), and a couple of zoom lenses.
Been with Pentax ever since with no regrets.
I came through getting a Chinon, being good quality at a good price, coming through Dixons on the high street. So - had bought into K mount. My dad had gone down the Pentax route, and so when I wanted a bit more from a camera, stuck with the K mount as being the cheapest upgrade route (ie not having to change everything). There have been frustrating moments with the cameras and have wondered whether would be better of with another brand 'cos can't get some of the nice lenses made for Canon & Nikon in K mount from Tamron and Tokina. But do love the ergonomics - feels good in the hand
