Perhaps they should start selling it as the
Swiss Army Pocket Bottle Opener with 85
Free Handy Apps

They have kept a copy of every knife ever made including the ones that never went into production

Such as one with a tape measure..... too small to read no's

One with a comb...... danger of getting bit's of cheese, chicken
etc. in hair



This guy's got a collection:

Probably costs as much as a small telephone exchange

Not in the House!

Unbelievable that the RM can damage a lens whilst it's in
their system They must be loading vans with forklifts

I was going to buy a new phone.... but after seeing a
program on TV last night about how a Swiss Army knife
was made and a man who had TWO! I'm
going to buy another Swiss Army knife instead

I never knew they had a Lifetime Guarantee they
had one in for a new handle that was made in 1924

This type of noise also seems to be effected by how well your
colour balance is set The PC I'm using now is better
balanced than the one I used last night and I can't see the
noise That explains why other people have reported that
they can't see it It seems to be in the purple fringe
part of the spectrum.

I wouldn't think it would show up on the high quality monitors
that magazines use and you might need to check the balance of
your monitor.

Neat Image removes it but causes some Jpeg artifacts.
You also seem to have sharpness set to Hard in the
camera..... try soft (not sure what the K-R has I
use a K-5)





Edit: There should be noise reduction in the camera
as well.

It is noisy on the background just over the shoulder.
A noise reduction program such as Neat Image should
fix it. Lightroom should work as well.

Is it better at 100ISO?

Don't use any intermediate ISO values because they
are adjusted downwards from the next ISO up and you
get the higher noise level i.e. 250ISO would have
400ISO's noise.

I wouldn't have thought it mattered too much, scanned
film is usually a lot worse from grain.

Bird photography is one of the worst subjects to do
from a noise point of view, but even the K20D was
usable at 400ISO.

Sarah Moon was very noisy when she used to use
GAF 500 (ASA/ISO) film

Watching the Olympics last night, it was obvious that the
athletes being photographed by someone with a camera held
at arms length hadn't a clue if the shot had been taken.
At least with a conventional camera they knew that once it was
moved away from the eye the shot was in the can

What's with all the flashguns going off in the crowds

The robin looks nice, but I really like the 2nd which
looks like it was done with a standard lens rather
than the massive Sigma
