Are you sure, I've used it for my ip4500 so things might have not change that much

Canon come with his own profile for every kind of his paper so use that instead of letting photoshop manage the colours. Photoshop doesn't know how the inkt will react with the paper you're using so just don't do that.

Here is the Canon guide simply follow these steps link

John my last observation was with the FA*85 only on both formats at the same focus distance of 10m so the lens was acting the same for both cameras so only the senor/film size makes a difference.

If you mean that the APS-C needs to be magnified more then the 35mm to cover a standard 6"x7" photo then you're correct and that's what the circle of confusion is about... at least for the most part.
Since the 35mm isn't magnified that much you have more leeway before something appears not sharp.

At least that's my understanding of it.

Ah yes didn't though about that stupid me

Did a comparison with the FA*85 and the DA*55.
The DA*55 can be seen as a digital replacement of the FA*85 on 35mm format. He is a part of that comparison.

About the circle of confusion.
So the circle of confusion. still makes a significant difference of
almost 40cm.
Good the photos would be very different but still it has some effect on the DOF and I'm quite glad of that.

I believe they said that when the new lens road map came with out the 1.4x SDM TC that the items were placed to a later date to make way for other releases.
The K7 was one of them and the WR kit lenses and a super tele lens came on the chart and lenses for the 645D.
It seems like they first want to get the 645D out now since the K7 is released now and that we find after that soon the TC back but I think it might take another year though if you know Pentax by now

Extension tubes was never on the road map and I think you'll need a long time for that one to come out.
Also you use extension tube for close focusing so no need to put SDM contacts in that you only need the contacts for the aperture and there are extension tubes on the market that work perfectly with that.

hmmm seems like I'm the only one that went out shooting some photos and spend some time with your loved one.

So were did things get so heated?

Show me the thread Iain, I couldn't find it.

No it wasn't obvious since I thought at first it was only about APS-C cameras in the range of the Pentax K20D since this is a pentax forum after all and we were talking about the K20D and the D300.

Yves comment was an reaction on my comment that the colour of the D300 photos weren't correct. I believe that was quite clear also but you could as easily take it as a general comment if you want.
The D3X is probable the best FF camera at the moment but you didn't say that you said it was the best camera, so don't blame me for making a generalization since you weren't specific and moving the focus away from the original topic.

That's fine but it isn't all about you Paul and you should read you comments properly since you said this.
I am well aware that other camera makes will be introducing HD Video into their cameras, but not yet. The more professional end cameras may or may not have this facility, at the moment they haven't and that is why I am choosing a model without it!
That I reacted on that with the Canon 50D mark II is quite logical or not since you said that other makes don't have HD Video into their more professional end cameras yet. I can surely read Paul so don't blame me

so, sorry for that but needed to defend myself of course.
With the Hassleblad thing was more of a joke and to show you you weren't that specific sorry you took it the wrong way though and far to personal so that you felt the need to defend Nikon

I think he is very contend with himself creating this mayhem and laughing at all of the people that swept into it and fueling it more and more.
I thought photography was a hobby for the most of us or a profession but it seems it's just something to argue about

Good for 50% though since the circle of confusion with APS-C sensor is smaller the DOF is smaller as well.

The 18-55 would give the same angle of view on digital that your 28-80 macro does now on film also the minimum focus distance is the same I believe (0.25m) so it's a true replacement.

The K200D is a very good camera but there are some reasons to get a K20D though.
- Prism viewfinder
- 2 control dials (very handy in manual mode)
- better high iso performance (lower the K200D probable win but both are very good)

If you can get a K20D it would be a more fulling camera I believe, something that will stay with you longer then the K200D may.

It works like it used to, the clamp is simply to stiffen the focus so that the focus point stays the same but that you can still adjust it with some force so it doesn't lock completely.

When doing macro I find it handy to use manual focus and sometimes AF ro bring it near the point.
If you take away AF from the shutter release button you need to press the AF button on the back to auto focus and all the other time it use manual focus since it has quick-shift.
That's one of the reasons I bought it over the others.

The K20D was also almost double the price of the K10D when it came out I believe and see how many it got it.

So according to you a Hasselblad H3D isn't a DSLR?
Medium format only refers to the size of the film/sensor, the Hasselblad H3D use a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera, that is what a SLR is right.

The descusion was only about APS-C format at first, you introduced the Nikon D3 to it.
Yves said this "Beside, quite often, I find Nikon cameras are overrated. They are good cameras, but they're not the Holy Grail."
You argued the D3X is widely known as the best camera.
We are only talking about cameras about this point and when I said Hasselblad makes better cameras, you said that doesn't count since they are MF.
At no point it was clear we were only talking about APS-C and FF format if I'm correct, we only said cameras.

What do you call the Canon 5D mark II, seems quite professional to me though. Okay not a 1D but the next best thing though.
And you reason is beyond my understanding to be honest, if you don't need it just don't use it.
The hardware isn't different from a camera without video and it's only software that enables it to take videos.
Some cameras without video mode can record movies by altering the software on it, basically if the camera can handle it you can make any camera record video. The D300 and the D3X are for sure capable to record video since they have liveview.
