always keep my word

Excellent advice.

Always, of course, ensuring that one's word is clearly articulated, and unambiguously spelled.

Or even spelt. If one speaks Her Majesty's English, rather than Mr President's.

I am saying nothing!

but sometimes given the quality of sensors / cameras a picture needs very little PP. I've put one on the Gallery tonight which has had a slight crop, but apart from that on the very tiniest bit of sharpening. No filters, no levels, no colour, no contrast tweaks etc. The pic is from my K-5; this is not possible with my other cameras (K-x, K-m).

From time to time you may get a picture that is perfect straight out of the camera, but I submit that that is very rare. In B&W days, you would never allow a machine to process your prints - at least, not if you wanted to get the best from them. And digital is the same.

Which picture are you referring to?

ETA: Sorry. The gallery. I thought you meant your website. That picture takes full advantage of gorgeous light. Very nice.

That puts me in mind of Dr Johnson, who said of a woman preaching: "It is like a dog walking on its hind legs. It is not done well, but one is surprised to see it done at all."

Needless to add, that in quoting this I intended no offence to women. Johnson might equally have been discussing Ed Balls trying to give economic advice.

Interesting. Horace Vernet was a 19th C painter of exotic scenes, often set in harems, which I have always enjoyed.

If prices are a little higher at Park or SRS on occasion (and usually they are fairly competitive), then many of us, particularly in light of recent events, feel that it is worth the extra to deal with a proper camera shop.

I'm referring to the sensor issue of course.

Felix there are other approaches other than the above,He dosent know everything.

Personally I'm with George, I shoot raw and all my processing is done on the computer but I'm sure everyone would be interested in these other "approaches" ... please feel free to share

Come on, Mike, there's loads of other approaches:

1 Throw away the camera and employ a pro.
2 Throw away the camera and take up painting.
3 Do no post-processing, then wonder why your pictures don't look as good as they might.
4 Throw away the camera and go to the pub, have twelve pints, then come back and join a discussion on the forum.

See? All these possibilities. I'm looking forward to hearing which one Danny proposes.

I should forget it. Just upload your pics to your computer and use any image editor you like.

I'm staying out of this.

ETA: I have deleted the rest of this post following receipt of an olive branch from the person to which it referred.

Algi, I believe you are right. There seem to be a lot of people on the web who think Zeiss owns Kashica, but it seems not.

Matt, it's your kit, and how you sell it is up to you, but the chance of finding anybody who wants all that kit (and is prepared to pay a good price) is slim. Not impossible, of course, but decidedly improbable.

You'll maximise your return by selling separately.

Good luck.
