Thanks for posting Thingsthatihaves and the photographs are great and much appreciated.
In fact IMHO they confirm my suspicion (limited for now) that the K3iii mono handles the highlights with so much ease that it will dawn a new era of interest in B@W
Keep us posted

Thanks Rick for the info, I will give it ago tomorrow, as in check out as a guest with the Paypal

Im up late, bank holiday weekend but loving these LennyBloke, and all are great photos from the GRiii
No 3 is my fav but that takes nothing away nothing the others.
Just to add I am getting a lone of the original digital GR in its 8.5 MP glory and hope to upload a few photos (street) and close contact, B@W of course

Well i agree with Walkeja on this one, Paypal is not an option for myself as it cannot recognise my phone number for verification as i used PayPal years ago as a guest on a purchase
I have tried and tried to rectify this but have come up short with they're security measures.
Just wish to pay the membership and be done with it

This photo was taken at iso 800 and I had already PP it in B@W for my liking but after reading your thread LennyBloke, I decided to put this already Processed picture back into Rawtherapee and chose the Film simulation icon but it didn't do very much, as in to subtle to discern a difference, but directly below the Film simulation Icon there is a soft light Icon and it definitely had an impact on the tonal range.
Of course i do not understand the half of it but my eye is a keen. All three icons HSV, Film simulation and Soft light are directly below the B@W icon so obviously work in tandem.
Probably dosent quite look like film but just thought i would give it a go, hope others can show attempts for a film like look.

Mike Muizebelt ,has the best video on youtube so far, regarding the K3iii Monochrome Imho.
The tonal range from highlights to shadows and everything in-between and Photographic scenes that suit it more with stunning results, worth checking out.

All valid points and opinions
My own tuppence worth, is it will be a roaring success given time, as an alternative to the film resurgence currently and also an alternative to the much pricier makers of mono chrome cameras.
If images produced by this camera possess that special magic, then i expect prices of used quality pentax lenses to surge also.
It is a great move by Pentax Ricoh
Already there is videos on Youtube by Photography vloggers using this camera.

Stunners JVs, in both light and frame.

I do like the variety in all of you're efforts, particularly the third last photo in the colour section even though it is B@W, intriguing mood.

I did not know the GIANT FLYING PENIS pilot owned DPR. Looks like he needs more pennies so he axes almost 30,000 jobs...

F******Censored do to extreme profanity******T[/quote]Jeff Bezos only owns 10% of amazon shares currently after stepping down as CEO. the company has mainly been sold to a new breed of investors through different subsidiaries , basically another way to disguise the fact that it is Chinese owned like a lot of other things in these recent years, particularly in the good old USA.
