I've the K10D and did some IR photo's, did the K5 preform better then the GX10?

One of my class mates had them as well (started a pro photo course)
They look very well made for the money and he said he hadn't had a miss fire so far, he found them quite a lot better then the V4 he also had.

Maybe it's time to get them as well since they have solve the problem with the Pentax AF540FGZ flash.

Well i'm back for a bit, i promised to Gwyn to look at her photos so will hang around a bit longer ^^

I've the Topaz bundle and the Nik bundle.

I only use Clean and Denoise from Topaz to clean up noise and such, they work very well other than that I like the Nik plug-ins better they seem to give you more control.

I also use de-fine from nik to clean up noise, it really depends on the photo if nik is better or topaz that's why i use both of them.
The lightroom noise reduction works fine on low noise but with high noise it really makes the photo softer and then you see that third-party products do preform quite a bit better.
I always leave noise reduction off now in lightroom and only decide when i output/finish the photo if i load it into PS or do everything in LR and with that I decide which noise reduction i'll use.

Ik had beloofd naar je foto's te kijken

Very nice photo, love the magenta tint in it with the yellow sun as contrast, works really well.

Have seen your other photo's as well, mainly like the landscape photos at dawn or dusk.
I also saw the Aurora photo's how was it to seem it in real life and how was the dog sledge?

Indeed, but the lens has a good home though and it stays in the Netherlands so that's also worth something.
We might see it again on the web over 20-30 years or so maybe

They are both in anotehr class so hard to compare like for like.

The Kx has a better snesor for high iso but the D70 and D80 have so many other features it's hard to say which one is better.
I would go for the D70-D80 because it has more buttons making it easier to controll when shooting manual.

You should compare the D80 with a K10D, both are from the same period and are in the same class.

You do know that 50% of the light doesn't reach the sensor because of the pelicile mirror.
For outdoor it would do but indoors it certainly has an impact

He didn't say preciesly but around the €3000 at least that are the specualtions, quite a bargain for the lens i believe.

Also Pentax the DA* and limited lenses now have a profile for lens correction.
