You should always run MemTest86 V7.5 Free Edition on any new memory before using. Also run it whenever you have a problem with the PC.

Good at least you can get the RAW in and save as say a TIFF to use elsewhere. Keep an eye out for a bug fix version for the mac.

Hi Algi, I tried this last night but it wouldn’t find or open the hard drive with my photos on, nothing showed except photos on my desktop, kept clicking on the search and folders icons and tried dragging folders in but nothing. Having a fairly short patience span I deleted it.

Ps also tried right clicking on an image to get ‘open with’ but Rawtherapee wasn’t even on the list of software options so something not right. Might try again later.
What I've always done in Windows is use a Ramdisk for temporary access and saving files and then copy them over to the main working directory on my hard drive using a filemanager. Never any problem finding them using that method.

If a Ramdive isn't big enough an alternative would be an empty partition on a hard drive.

More examples...

RawTherapee is the best for PS files. One of the programmers is very keen on it.

See....

Sadly to survive nowadays camera manufacturers have to increase the profit on each item they make/sell which usually means pushing top of the range products.

The new D-FA 50mm lens looks to me as though it would be very good for video. Maybe we will see more of that with the Tokina version.

It also looks to have very good front bokeh, which would be handy for portraits of say a scientist with microscopes etc. in the foreground.

The old FA 50mm f/1.4 is a terrible lens. The f/1.7 is much better. Oddly the 'A' 50mm f1.4 is very good.

Horrible bokeh and green fringing on the outer petals..... Flaring up on the top left of the flower....No idea of the lens though.

This lens is also awesome with the KP (APS-C)........ Someone at Depressing Review posted these examples of it used on an available mixed light commercial assignment ....

More pics of people at the bottom.
