I've removed the image of the SRS invoice - very unwise to show your address in full. I'd suggest covering that up and reposting the invoice without that critical bit of detail!

The grain was part of the final tweak in Photoshop, to give the very effect that Ken noticed.

Sure, what you're saying is "here are my older Pentax pictures" not "look how good my G9 is" so it puts the right emphasis on it.

I'll look forward to seeing the pictures!

If your image is a print and needs copying, then a scan or a camera copy is fine. It doesn't matter in those circumstances what it was copied by. It's still a Pentax image.

Yes, I copy the images and don't delete anything until copy and backup copy are secure.

A card reader is still the way to go, and at the miniscule cost of these why not just buy a new one? Or a new cable if that's what's needed?

It was a JPEG capture. I have a selection of filters set up for use via the front quick dial of the Q cameras.

It's a question of approach. In this instance, I decided in advance what effect I wanted from the shots and shot accordingly. That's the way it used to have to happen when we used film.

Using digital cameras, the thought process is almost always the other way round. We shoot the image and then decide the style later. There are no rights and wrongs, but it does affect the thought process and I think sometimes it's a part of what makes us want to try out film again.

You can see a few images in my EPZ blog, from today's trip to Whitby.

One of the things I tried was the Antique Colour filter on the Q-S1. I quite liked the effect, so here are some images processed in camera, with a final tweak in Photoshop. These are not in the blog.

We'll look forward to finding out! Some of the DA lenses do seem to cover the 35mm format, but they are not marketed as such.

I'm now closing the thread.

Time to stop arguing now guys.
