I have to come clean. I don't disagree with any of the benefits of RAW. Once I get one complaint or issue over images I provide regarding quality or lack of detail, I will look at ways to improve or determine if the issue is valid. If it is, I'll look at why it happened. Odds are that it would be down to me, not the kit or format.

[quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"]Totally agree John and as I've said here before, my D7000 is set to match the JPEG's from my Pentax's. Oddly, the D700 is flatter than the D7000 and I don't tweak it.

I often get asked "what kit are you using" as I don't use manufacturers straps to advertise. When I say Pentax and Nikon, most people often ask why Pentax and I always reply "better IQ straight from the camera".

For most using DSLR's, just managing the rest of the many facets of handling, exposure, composition etc. is daunting enough.

Each to their own and there are plenty of excellent images produced regardless of output format.

TIFF anyone?

I wish I could master RAW. I've struggled to get detailed images for years. I feel somewhat annoyed to think that I pay good money for a camera and unless I use RAW, I may not get full detail content.

Shocking really.

I have the 24-90 Pentax and it's an excellent lens. Bought it with an MZS. I rate it very highly. I used it on the istD around New York and fine detail was very impressive.

First is best. A good image and well composed. I also like the Superman Crystals in the last shot.....

Great images and well taken. Good detail with excellent light.

Well the other forum has some news on this.

Here is the google translation of the section specific to the K lenses:
- "The expansion would also have been desirable for the K-mount lenses, plans for the future? "Of course, we have planned as well as lenses of K Q. However, to some extent as a system, the lens is aligned so necessary, and Q is mounted at a different point value. Because it allows the system prior to go out and cut a different lens. for K mount lens goes out of character. it takes time to develop than absolute refinement of an existing lens, can not say that is rapidly turning Ikima is not, since we are challenging the new type of lens, please wait a little "

I THINK what is being said is that the K lens line up is pretty established and not in need of anything radical so its taking a back seat to Q lens development and K owners need to be patient".

Just as well we are all content with our present kit. Sounds like good news for Q owners though.

Barrie, you'll be a different man after the OP. My mother had a triple BP years ago and it was like a new lease of life. Apparently, the improvement in how you feel is a "need the OP to know" issue so others can only speculate.

Very best regards

I'll brighten up this year then WRT Pentax/Ricoh.

This being the first day of my next year, I'm off to Motorvation today (Sat). Lots of cars and oily females........

K7 + 21mm + 77mm will be in the tool kit.

Best regards

Cheers.
