You need to set the same colour space throughout your workflow.

The web needs sRGB, so check the camera and LR4 to make sure they are both set to sRGB and all should be well. LR4 will have a setting marked as Preferences or Colour Settings or something similar.

That's pretty bad. I think the lens must have been damaged or maybe someone has dismantled it and not been able to reassemble it properly.

You should expect sharp images.

Very debatable statement sebas77. You haven't defined "better" for a start.

It's pretty obvious that the new TC will work fully with current cameras and lenses.

I don't see what the problem is, other than it hasn't arrived yet. Priorities I guess, because the new TC will most likely be expensive.

do you think it's also to do with the old school charm of what Pentax used to stand for back in the older days
Any emotional feelings like that are just a bonus. If the cameras were no good it would be pointless.

I also love using, holding and caressing my MX-1


It's a pleasure because it is a beautiful piece of engineering, but caressing it seems a step too far IMHO.....

I stay with Pentax because I like the ergonomics and the colour balance of the results. In other words, it's efficient to use and the results are exactly what I want. The quality of the construction is an added bonus, everything fits together properly, smoothly and beautifully. Quality can be enjoyed on many levels.

I was reading the review in AP re the Olympus E-5 replacement and reflecting how it already seems dated and blown out of the water by the K-3. The comparison between the K-3 and a FF camera also shows the K-3 as clearly superior in results. So what will those who have jumped ship at huge expense do now? Jump back at even more expense? It's futile, a constant leap-frogging that has already gone beyond what most of us actually need.

Wanting things is fine and I've suffered from it as much as anyone else, but I don't intend going anywhere regardless of what other marques may introduce. What I have with Pentax fits the profile of what I want to do photographically 100%. If it didn't, I wouldn't be using it, would I?
