Hi, anyone knows the technical explanation why the viewfinder most often (if ever?) has a less than 100% coverage?

Great pics...sharp and nice colour...seems a particular clear day!
Dunno if it is bad taste to butt in on other users threads with your own pictures...if so I deeply apologize...just wanted to show you a nice blue sky obtained with my K10D and a P-FA 50mm f1.4 last weekend - no filters, no sharpening, no tweaking of colors...only post-processing was a cropping for better composition.

No. 4 is my favorite...the light brings an almost translucent feeling to the statues features

You've painted my living room pink?!
Yeah, didn't you notice?

May be just my simple self, but sometimes I don't think you need much more in a pic.
Agree with you there. I'll start ascribing it to 'my simple self', as you do, instead of on Attention Deficit Disorder

I like it as an abstract, and I would think it would sit very nicely in a series of photos depicting dunes too.
Hi Daniel, thanks and great idea about a series of dune photos. I live in Denmark: we have no stunning mountains, wild rivers, rocky coastal landscapes...but we do have sand dunes...I should take advantage of that!

Thanks justgetoutandride - or is it 'aj' :

I tend to agree with you - but after scouting around and trying different angles I didn't find any usable focal points. I could have let the subject slip, but I opted for a sort of abstract view with shallow depth-of-field (actually the main purpose of that day: shooting with my new f1.4 50mm-lens - testing the wide aperture).

I guess it's like painting your living room pink - it's a matter of taste whether you like at...and given the circumstances I kindda like the picture...shouldn't post it if I felt otherwise, should I?

Don't get me wrong: your critique is very wellcome...I see from your website, that I have a lot to learn from you...and that's a process I like: learning and being inspired.

Hi, there - out playing with my rather new K10D and brand new smc P-FA 50mm F1.4-lens (what a smashing lens - I love it!) this weekend.

My first post in this forum by the way - but I have been an avid reader for some time - you guys are a great inspiration as well as an excellent source of info and experience - it's much appreciated!

In manual mode, just press the OK button and change the ISO using the front wheel.

Pressing "OK" and the green button together takes you back to auto ISO in modes other than manual
Great tips! These are not mentioned in the manual, right?
