Hi there. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who is using Aperature?

I am looking to find out how users like it compared to say Capture One, Adobe Camera Raw, or Rawshooter?

As a side note, if there is anyone who can comment specifically on the compatibility with the new Pentax K10, K100, or K110 DSLRs's that would be great!

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi all, thanks for looking.

I have been having the following problem with my K110D any insight is appreciated:

When the pop-up flash is up, the camera will not respond. Once it is focussed, the shutter will not open and the flash does not fire.

When the flash is down the camera performs fine. This is the case in all of the modes from Auto-Manual. I have tried a fresh set of batteries with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks, I just wanted to post here before sending it in for warranty service.

Thanks very much again for the feedback everyone.

Something else that I didn't think of originally, the DOF control that the faster lens will give me makes it more attractive overall as a first purchase.

I'm not sure how often I would use the 500mm lens, but if I find I'm missing it I guess I will re-evaluate.

Cheers!

Steve.

Hi all. Well I am glad to have found this forum.

I recently came into possesion of a brand new Pentax K110D.

I have been using the camera for about 2 weeks and I love it.

This is my first forray into Digial photography, and I have some questions regarding which lenses I shoulod buy first.

I am interested in shooting wildlife, and as a such have decided to get into a zoom lens up to 200mm-300mm.

Here is the problem I am having.

As an example, I have my eye on the Sigma 70-200mm F/2.8 EX DG, along with a 1.4x teleconverter. This setup will cost in the neighbourhood of $1000.

Now as I understand it, by using the teleconterter, I am loosing one stop so here is my question:

Based on the cost savings is it a substantial sacrifice (in terms of image quality and/or ease of use) to go with with a lens in the 300mm-400mm range that has a higher maximum aperatute say 4-5.6??

I hope I have worded my question correctly, basically I am looking for the best bang for my buck.

Thanks for the help!

Steve.
