Could you upload for us a typical photo of the event with the full EXIF, that would tell us a lot.

I recently acquired a Super Tak 35mm f3.5 along with a genuine adapter (it came attached to a gorgeous KM). I put the lens and adapter on my K-m in Av mode with the lens set to M, but the shots mostly seem very underexposed - only one of the test shots was ok. I did try exposure compensation but the problem is outside the range of adjustment.
Could it be that you're hitting the limit of the metering, it can only meter so dark you know.I recently acquired a Super Tak 35mm f3.5 along with a genuine adapter (it came attached to a gorgeous KM).

I believe it's a problem with most DSLR because they aren't point and shoot.
It's known that the camera underexpose around 2/3 to 1 stop when using a flash and certainly with highlights you can get problems and under expose more.
Sometimes it's good though because Pentax is more sensitive in the dark than most other brands and the white wedding dress doesn't get blown out.

Anyway, all very interesting though it all is, if the potential error is only a stop, as suggested in the Bob Atkins article, given all the other variables that contribute to getting the exposure right, I'm still in no hurry to go out and replace my LPs with CPs.
I've used my LPs ever since getting my K10D, and never once noticed a significant problem. Which isn't to say that it's not there, just that it's not large compared with the other things I get wrong
You are right about that, it's not a huge problem but it's there. now that you know you can deal with it.Anyway, all very interesting though it all is, if the potential error is only a stop, as suggested in the Bob Atkins article, given all the other variables that contribute to getting the exposure right, I'm still in no hurry to go out and replace my LPs with CPs.

Linear filters are also more effective than circular so there is not a big reason to throw them away at all

Point it to a matte wall or object, white paper for example and turn the filter.
Since no reflection change, light stays the same but with a linear filter the camera changed the shutterspeed at around 1 stop when set to Av while turning, with circular filter it doesn't changed at all.

You haven't said which camera you're using, but linear polarisers work perfectly well with the K10D, and maybe with the later Pentax dSLRs too.
Someone here tested that and it seems not to be true...You haven't said which camera you're using, but linear polarisers work perfectly well with the K10D, and maybe with the later Pentax dSLRs too.

Matt be careful what you buy though, this a helpful guide link

Well Gwyn at least it's still dry (I don't think I should say that to loud)...

Indeed I believe Mike shoot out of the hand mostly, for autoracing I tend to use a monopod quite a lot although I did make night shots at 1/30 of an autorace with a tripod with a 3 way head. I don't see why you couldn't use it for aircraft either.Anvh wrote:

Thanks to shake reduction I presume. I would find a tripod too restrictive for any sort of action shot.David, Mike using 500mm for his shots so with some practice it can be done
