Well spotted and taken!

Lovely shots, David, I also prefer the B+W shot to the sepia version. I'm planning on doing some IR with the K3 myself, so it's nice to see it works well! I'd be interested to know how much colour you got in the images. The 15mm Ltd is excellent for IR, in fact the only reason I kept it after buying a Sigma 8-16mm is because it works so well for IR. Surprisingly, the DA 16-45 works really well too.

I would....I still might.

In Doha the only way I can get medium format film processed is cross-processing. I've been looking for a Lightroom preset to turn some already exposed scanned films back to "normal". I have a preset that makes normal shots look cross-processed, but can't find one that does it in reverse. Has anyone come across a preset that could do this? I have tried making one myself without much success.

The only slight downside I've found with the K3 is that the RAW files seem slightly less tolerant to extreme processing than the K5's, introducing a bit more noise than I got with the K5. However, the increase in resolution is worth it, even though that was not really in my considerations when I bough the camera; I just wanted one without an AA filter, as shooting through glass (windows) seems to exaggerate the effect of an AA filter.

I've been trying out my K3 with some old lenses, and been quite surprised by the results. Iwas expecting to see some flaws I'd not noticed beofre due to the extra resolution, but have been pleasantly surprised. The Sigma 24mm f2.8 Super-Wide II is excellent, as expected. My smc-A 50mm f1.4 works about as well as expected, it's a tad soft wide-open but sharpens up very nicely by f4.

The biggest surprise has been my preset Takumar 200mm f3.5, it's superb. Wide-open there's a bit of CA, but nothing I can't remove. I knew it was sharp, but have only just realised how good it actually is. I can see me using this lens much more than I have been, in spite of it being a bit clumsy to use. My Tamron SP 90mm f2.5 BBAR 52B macro lens is also excellent on the K3.

Thanks, Matt, I'm giving them a quote of $600 per year. A friend of mine who sells work on a similar basis, though commissioned, came up with the same figure. I'll see if anything comes of it; the last time someone wanted to use one of my images, through an agency, the client cancelled the whole thing at the last minute.

Thanks for the replies- I was initially thinking $500 per image would be a starting point, but I was also thinking that was probably way too low. The images are going to be tied up for 5 years, apart from possible print sales. I could easily make more than $500 per image from stock sales during the same period if I licensed them to Getty; several of the images have been requested by them. I was thinking $500 per year would be a better starting point? I'm also not sure if they are specifically after aerial shots: if so, then I've got far more bargaining power. What I don't want is to realise later that I've sold them for a fraction of what I could have. On the other hand, I don't want to price myself out of the equation.

I was wondering if anyone here could give me some idea of pricing. I was contacted recently by a photo researcher for a well-known computer/tablet/gadget company, the one with a bit of fruit with a bite out of it as it's logo. They were asking about licensing an image from me, for, quote, Unlimited, worldwide use excluding broadcast advertising for five years from date of first use. The image in question is already licensed elsewhere, and along with a link to the image on the agencies website, I also provided a link to my Flickr stream of aerial shots, the majority of which are not licensed to any agency. Now they are interested in several of my images, and their production team is reviewing them. If they select any of the images they want edited TIFF's and also the RAW files.

I'm not sure if anything will come out of it, but they want a quote, and I don't have the foggiest idea.

Does anyone have any idea what would be a realistic quote? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Great to see them winning somne awards, though not sure I agree with the description of the GR as an ideal, everyday snapshot camera. It's a lot more than that.

OK Doug, bit busy with work the next few days but I'll try processing a few shots I already have asap...
