It may be enlightening to find out from those Pentaxians who have moved on why they have done so and whether they have gained because of it. I think that the forum ethos of stifling discussion of other brands is a bit counterproductive too. It seems to me that Pentax kit is certainly capable of great photography and that aim should be encouraged much more than it seems to be.[/quote]I would love to tell you on the forum jut when I have my posts have been deleted and I've received a warning from the moderators or aessage from moderators.

It's sad really as Pentax don't currently offer what I need but I can't wait to get back to Pentax which is bizarre in itself. I can't even talk about the brand I've gone too and the faults with that brand as to why I want to go back to Pentax.

From the people that leave Pentax very few seem to come back yet my discussion as to why I want to come back is stifled despite me being positive about the Pentax brand.

Unfortunately most users questions abouty current thoughts are through flickr and one images rather than on the forum...

The worst is when people on this forum pm you for photography or career advice and when you reply don't even have the courtesy to say a simple thank you, the same goes for critique which takes time and despite saying you like the image but note how it could be improved posters get offended. Some of my early work was appalling but genuine comments improved my work over time.

If you just want people to like your work post on Instagram if you want an honest discussion about it then the forum should be a place where genuine critique should take place without fear of reprisals.

If Pentax do release an ff cam I expect a lot of the old members to flock back in a stampede...

Are you using the same rgb in both programmes???

When you export from the develop module do the reds turn orange?

This image was part of a set for my photography studies at college where we had to choose a photographer for influence, I chose Brassai, hopefully you can see the inspiration.
