This was shot at MOSI, Manchester Museum of Science and Industry. They had a special Dr Who exhibition for a while. They even had a full sized radio controlled Dalek patrolling the area and that certainly spooked the kids. It was actually quite menacing as it slid silently around the ground floor, then suddenly would pick a youngster and speak....they visibly quailed.

Low light, blue image from the Dr Who exhibition of a few years back, shot at a heady ISO 1600 on the K10D. Lens was the SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm f/4

Ergonomics, I like the way things work. An elegance of design. Quality of manufacture, it's a pleasure to use well made things. With digital, superb JPEG capture that gives me exactly the colour quality I like.

I've tried, and continue to try, them all and Pentax is the one I've chosen to use.

My feeling is that all these are within workable range, but the third one is too light (the one you think is spot on) and the cows in the field are absolutely spot on. The last shot is very nice indeed, full of atmosphere.

Not sure what you're chasing, but I wouldn't worry. Just dial in exposure compensation to suit the end result you are looking for.

I understood you, so I'm sure other did too, but we'd better get this back on subject.

The most off topic post removed, please get back to the subject and let's avoid a perfectly reasonable thread derailing.

Once is enough, there's no need to keep repeating your point of view Mr S. Please don't provoke an argument where none is necessary.

Just accept each others' point of view please and argue the aesthetics, not the motivations of those who are discussing it. You could be quite wrong about what makes other forum members tick.

All types of image are equally welcome, and no need for anyone to keep repeating their own point of view!

When I had the K-3 for review I didn't notice in practice any difference in metering between that and any of the K-5 models.

I think as they stand images from the Pentax models a whisker light using matrix metering. I always use centre weighted and -0.3EV to give me the exposure I want.

Why not show us examples of correctly exposed and underexposed images so we can see if there's any common denominator, maybe even a fault?
