This was shot by my then 4 year old little brother, with the K10D and the 18-55.
So don't worry too much, they have an unique eye to the world, you would be amazed what he would shoot.

The FA77 is in the top10 the best lenses ever made so you do set the standard pretty high
I quite like the performance of the lens from what I see but it's the DA-L feature set that's putting me off.
The DA 40 limited was only 100 pound more when i got it but it has an aluminum housing, quick-shift and lens-hood with it, that's a 100 pound well spend i believe.
If only pentax had put quick-shift and a lens hood in it *argggh*

I ain't the only one thinking this way right...

Roundup of several Linux image software with a small description, don't know how useful but it might be interesting to read what's out there.

I think you can do the same in elements, there are also some solution in the comments.

I've it set up like Snappy showed in the link so that photoshop manage the colours.
I thought that then photoshop will convert it to CMYK that the printer can directly print, most likely with the help of the printer drivers.
I don't believe the printer self does the conversion from RGB to CMYK but that the driver on the computer does that.

That's actually very common, when you look at a monitor you are looking into a light source. Paper doesn't give out light so it needs to reflect the light that's around.
If you look at the print under more light it will look brighter.

Just test the printer to find the brightness adjustment that match.

You lost me John....
The printer use CMYK colour space to print, how can it be a RGB device if it doesn't use those colours?

I use ProPhotoRGB through the whole process because i use the RAW file all the time, i'm not sure how photoshop handles it when it sends to the printer but never found that the colours are out too much.

Focal length might be one of them.
With wide angle lenses you don't see the camera shale that much but if you use longer focal length you will see it.
If you do it out of the hand the filming it might be better to just have it on, it makes the video look smoother.

Ahhhh i was thinking you want to adapt a normal lens to mega apochromatic

btw. Bokeh is not really influenced by longitudinal chromatic abberration but by spherical aberration.
And sadly the smooth bokeh is actually caused by not correcting it well, if you've smooth bokeh in the background you have hard bokeh in the foreground and vice versa.

As far as i know my printer is CYMK, are there printers that print in RGB?
