I took a pic at iso 200 and printed it at A2 after sharpening and contrast boost it was on a 12mp sensor and turned out fine with an expected little loss in detail(perceived) Dan

thats cool then. Be great if you could take a look at my moon shot in my gallery its not very good only had 50-200da spot metered cropped contrast sharpening and 2nd layer of clouds in pp (i dont have photoshop) ta Dan

Well a second opinion it did seem pretty aggressive to me and im not suprised that Dr O responded in the way he did. Tone of voice is very hard to convey on a forum and we should give a little thought to the effect our words might have before posting. Dan btw nobody is shooting you down

Hi Axel,

you are so right. I posted the same comment on my own pictures after just this sort of welcome but only ego boosting feedback. So far ive had no response. There is also a member who quite often only posts smilies as comments on my pictures!!

I am as guilty as everyone else of looking at a picture and posting nothing, whether or not i like it or not. I do try however to encourage those new to photography and offer advice where it's needed(not that i don't need it)

and what have YOU got planned?
As for myself maybe a visit with my five year old to see a steam train and visit the works depot here in Ceske Budejovice, Czech Rep. Other than that just a short walk and maybe a few sunset shots weather permitting.

Dan.

really like this how the image seems to surround you, nice exposure with plenty of detail in the sky and building. Great stuff film! you obviously know how to handle it

I usually use mine on bright setting +1 contrast and +3 sharpness (K-r)

Thats the problem I have. I've discovered that the lens focuses in front of the af spot but i can't adjust it, the settings don't appear to make any difference! what can i do?

Got hold of the above lens for my K-R (my first prime) but am not happy with the sharpness/fine focus particularly below f2.8. I have tried adjusting focus in camera settings but it makes no difference. Is this because older lenses don't support this? Not sure now if i should sell it and get the newer 1.4 version.

Any advice appreciated

Dan

It's also a tad confusing when certain well respected review sites say that with some camera's the jpegs are so good that there is little difference to be had from shooting raw!

btw Prieni, i think you might need to clean your lens! i downloaded your jpeg to fiddle and its quite mucky ( i dont think it's my monitor:lol
