Adobe RGB has a wider gamut (range of colours) but not all printers and devices can reproduce it. prints and web images may seem lacking in contrast and "bite".

Most devices are sRGB and the web certainly is. Whatever you use, it's important to ensure the entire processing chain uses the same colour space. I use sRGB throughout.

Chillingham Castle is a superb time capsule, an exciting find.

Shoot the models in the rain.

It's a good option and might well end the session doing that. On the logic of course that once the model's wet through it isn't easy to take any more dry images.

Photo session on Sunday, somewhere....the location needs thinking about because it could well be raining. If necessary in the studio, but I prefer outdoor model shoots.

I'll let you know how much the one I have here sells for when I post it in a few weeks. This is an East German CZ lens, nothing remarkable from the usage point of view, but respectable enough.

I's much rather have a Pentax 20mm.

It's not worth anything like that price IMHO.

If you want a wide angle, any of the current Pentax lenses will do the job. The 21mm is nearest the 20mm you were looking at, but don't forget that even the 18-55mm kit lens is still excellent and worth having.

Comment by johnriley posted on FS: Mint K20D plus extras at 08/05/2013 - 16:57

More so to higher ISOs. I'm happy with the K20D at ISO400, but prefer it at ISO200. The K-5 I can use up to ISO1600 without any worry about it.

I think you might find the K-7 and K20D to be a bit slow and/or noisy compared to your K-r, so at least the K-5 and maybe II or IIs would be a good upgrade path.
