I agree that there's nothing mysterious about the process, but there's lots of ways how you carry it out can affect the final outcome. Presoaking, the degree and frequency of agitation, choice of developer type, temperature of development....all can alter the end result.

Such subtelties are not for the beginner though, and just keep a clean and repeatable process and you should be fine.

They just look like a set that could have been taken with one of the DSLRs, which I suppose is the point. We don't want them to look any different and clearly they would fit in with existing kit.

I suppose you could try software to de-fish the 10-17mm, but I'm not sure how well that looks.

Sometimes of course it's possible to use the 10-17mm anyway, but that depends on what the client wants.

You probably need a 10mm rectilinear lens, and would have to look outside the Pentax range. I'm not sure that the Sigma 10-20mm would be straight enough.

There is a huge difference between the K20D and K-5. We upgraded a while back, although I keep one K20D as a back up camera and for some studio shots.

The K-5 has more detail, lower noise and is a faster, more responsive camera. The low light capability is stunning and it made a huge difference to wedding disco shots. Using the 50mm f1.4 FA lens I could shoot virtually in any light that I could actually see in.

Yes, just upload without ticking the box.

"quite resonable" seems to me to be a fair assessment - the older zooms will not match the latest DA zooms on digital cameras, but some are still excellent and some still hold their own quite well.

They are well worth a try.

There's been no mention anywhere I can see that the new 40mm won't work with DSLRs, but there has been speculation that in future lenses might be made that extended too far into the camera to clear the mirror.

If the 12-24mm isn't wide enough for interior photography (and it is pretty wide) then Photoshop is the obvious answer. Maybe stitching images, maybe correcting distortion.

It's the way the world is, without Photoshop only a percentage of our vision can be realised. Manufacturewrs are even starting to make cameras/lenses that require post processing, which is going a bit far IMHO, but it was bound to happen.

If you tick the "entry into quarterly competition" box the image won't appear until the competition has been judged. Could this be the problem?
