My Gramma was like a kung-fu master with a broom.
When she reached for her broom, all my uncles and cousins (and I) would run.
I saw her chase a black bear out of the trash one time. Poor thing didn't even see it coming, It was busy nosing through the trash when Gramma reached for her broom. My cousin ran to the back bedroom, wasn't taking any chances, then she went after the poor bear...

She could smack you upside the head then a blow to the shin, gut and leg sweep before you could blink...
I always felt bad for not warning that bear...

three items I feel help to know...

I did not get the specs on exact dimensions this wiill be published at yet so there will likely be more black border added to the outside edges rather than cropping of the image area....

yes there was some motion blur, it was a three second exposure.

one of my models had to cancel to re-write a school exam, so I photoshopped myself in there...

so shot at noon submitted to publisher by three....
I hate short deadlines.

Usually when a man says that he winds up dead or divorced....

not sure if the lens is older "M" type or has electronics contacts.... if the latter you may need a lens with the exact same contact pins... meaning he might be better off swapping the glass out of his lens with another identical lens if he can get one with a scratched element or fungi super cheap..... most people damage the glass not the mount..

yep she shot me.
lol

technically the first is better, but the second one is my favorite.
Reminds me of a cool fall day out hiking. love the colors.

adobe bridge might have, I don't know. I set up my workflow for RAW and my K10's and ds2, a long time ago...

I guess not, I don't look at in camera really, but when I import to aperture I do have a set of "default" adjustments that get applied on import, a camera profile, so the ajustments are done before I even see an image on my screen..
for me there is no such thing as direct from camera, no adjustments...

The trouble with default settings is Pentax has less resources and market share, so adobe, apple, and other software vendors are putting more effort in "Default" settings for more popular cameras.

Even when Silkypix first started working with Pentax for Pentax's raw converters, I think it was Mattmatic's advice to try the "Nikon" settings for processing images from certian Pentax cameras that had Sony sensors for quick and easy raw conversions of Pentax pef files.

how much ca/pf is visible is often down to post processing... I suspect many raw converters can be set up to optimize for a particular camera on import so it is a minor issue... I suspect many reviewers are simply using default settings.
