I take your point, on the face of it it seems to be true. However, if you look at all the Adams books then it clearly isn't true. So, it may depend on who has made these images for the exhibition.

I saw a David Bailey exhibition in Aberystwyth and the quality of the prints was a disgrace. I assumed that they had been reprinted, even copied, but it is difficult to draw a conclusion.

I think you might be wrong Algi. Adams's attention to detail was extraordinary.

The K10D is way, way out of warranty by now, so why not return it directly to JPS for a quotation?

You'll find the address on the Pentax UK website: http://www.pentax.co.uk/en/service-centre.html

Excellent, one of my favourite photographers. My bookshelves have several beautiful books, printed Duotone, of fine images by Adams.

Eh? Surely you must be looking at the end result and be impressed or not. How it was reached is irrelevant.

One of the things I like about the Q is that in inspires experimentation. There can be just simple stuff like Cross processing:

Or experimentation with all sorts of optical devices. here's a rough-and-ready image that I made with the 8.5mm 01 Standard lens. First, I pressed the lens up against this:

and got this:

A quick solution to a very close up close up, with a fairly reasonable result.
