What a wonderful set. What impresses most is the dynamic range and shadow detail.
I agree.

Gary, you have praised the camera and lens combo, but can you also give a brief indication of how much PP was needed to produce these images?

Philip
Very little actually

Decrease blacks
Decrease whites
Increase contrast
Sharpen
Remove noise

The gear well it was fantastic, I love this combo so much.

Im very very happy with my k-5 mkii, improvements?

Faster processor
Faster card write speeds
Dual card slots
Keep the k-5 body, its a brilliant piece of ergonomic design.

Megapixel sizes are simply the sensor size x x y for example 12 megapixel would be 4000 x 3000 pixels sensor size.

As for file size that totally depends on what is in your photo and bit size.
