They're twice the PEF size on a K10D.

Hi guys,

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you have it, and got some nice gear!

I was just wondering if there's a PEF to DNG converter that lets you keep the same datestamp on the file externally - I just noticed that the Adobe one doesn't, which isn't helpful when you're trying to work out at-a-glance where your holiday snaps were taken. The orig. date is accessible from the Browse function of Photoshop but I'd like to see it in Explorer.

thanks,
smithy.
I've decided to ensure that I always have a copy of DCRAW. and then my PEFs should be translateable forever.

Failing that, I might one day convert them all into 16-bit TIFFS.

Uncompressed DNGs are just too big.

You must have had to much of gods water George, the 360 does indeed have TTL on a TTL body

The AF500FTZ would also be a good choice for the 645, take a peek at KEH, I just imported 2x for £150 including fast delivery, vat etc (only vat, no import duty applied by IR)
Thanks for the info, and from George. The reason I asked is that I already have both an AF400FTZ and an AF360FGZ so hoped I could use those.

I do have my eye on a few 645 lenses from KEH though!
You know, this is perhaps a bit more complicated. Recent 645 cameras can definitely use guns like the 400, but I am a bit worried that your 645 might be from the 4p era, not the 5p, in which case you could have a problem with cables if you want to mount the flash off the body.

But I am not sure when the 645 came out, and it might be that they are all 5p compatible.

I do beg your pardon. Too much good cheer, methinks.

Anyone know if either the AF400FTZ or AF-360FGZ are compatible with TTL flash on the Pentax 645 (the original manual focus one)?

It's common practice, when buying on the Internet, not to deal with anybody who is clearly two stops short of the right exposure.

So a nitwit trying to flog mass-market dross on a Pentax forum is unlikely to have much success.

You resize when you have done your adjustments and save the file - as either a JPEG or a TIFF.

If you are planning to do further work on it, then it makes sense not to resize until that work has been done.

It doesn't sharpen unless you tell it to.

Finally, I very seldom do anything to a picture after putting it through Silkypix. What comes out of Silkypix is, for me, the final image.

I'm surprised the cost is so high. Have you tried Pentax in Slough?

Scottish Gaelic, to be precise. You win the bottle of Bowmore (Vic C pays!).

The other two are Polish and Manx for the same thing.

Chinese New Year (gōngxǐ fācái) is not until 7 February.
