Indeed, I'm going to photokina is anyone else also planning to go?

That's a little hard to say because image quality is only one aspect of the whole system.

If you want to see some shots that you can compare with other lenses, Photozone.de have tested the Sigma 30mm on Pentax and also the FA31, DA35, FA35 and if you want to go slightly wider the FA*24.

I've done some flat roofs, if done right it isn't a problem at all.

Al right last 4 weeks.

So because the Adi wins Nathan comp and Adi thought Nathan was best in his comp there is a conspiracy?
Do you've any other prove besides that?

Adi is a new member and Nathan hasn't been active on the forum this year because he is busy so I very much doubt there is a friendship between them.

Have more than one judge or vote.

I believe there are some plans to do a competition with voting, don't know if it will happen or not.

I must say though that I always found the winners very good and always could find myself in the decision off the judge but sometimes I did like the number 2 or 3 better but we all have a different taste.

Indeed rubbish also for technical reasons.

The super K7 with 720P60 will never work with the 14mp sensor they use now because it doesn't have enough lane to support that throughput.

A K-X with AF points indication will not work either because the viewfinder housing is too small the fit the hardware needed for that.

The PRO-Model have some very strange options such as no AF screw-drive, Pentax will never do that and certainly not for a pro model, they will lose most of their lenses and that's why the in body SR is also a bad idea.
I've also never heard Canon selling their own sensor to the competition.

I believe it was Oggy that told me not to be so serious, I'm glad I'm not the only one on the forum

I didn't said it like that, I said that it's more common with Nikon to see more pro's using them and when things are more common than I think they are less exciting.

Pentax users even already find it special to see another Pentax user, something like that you won't see with Nikon or Canon right?

Just make a selection of the flower, it does not need to be 100% right it's just to make sure when you change the pink it won't change the pink else where in the photo.

So make a crude selection and make a layer adjustment tool called hue/saturation, if it's al right you still have the selection now make a layer mask out of that to hide everything except the selection.

Then with the adjustment layer hue/saturation you've a picker simply click on the pink flower and you see the range it picks in the tool and now you can selectively adjust the hue of the pink so make it orange for example.

If it's the only pink in the photo you can try to do it without the layermask.

That's the lens mount not the sensor.
The shutter is placed just before the sensor so you need to move the mirror up to see it properly.
If you don't believe me about the shutter resting position do a 2 second delay with your lens off.
With the two second delay the camera will flip the mirror up and you can see the shutter in action.

Sigma has done it different, it's really just a filter instead of a cover that moves away when the lens is on.
It's a filter that cuts UV and IR light and you can remove it if you want to do such kind of photography, quite smart if you ask me.
