Well captured - a candid Gary?
Yes, a candid. The 100mm macro did well at the distance.

Best regards

Then again comment before was my god thats a quiet shutter and loved saying to canon owner no i dont need flash its a k5
So that's why the Pentax flash system has not been updated. They removed the need for flash with high ISO?

My K10 and K7 need flash for fill and so do my D7000 and D700.

We live and learn.

Oh the wonders of processed meat.

I'm thinking of doing a set covering junk food and it's life giving qualities. I watched "Food, Inc." link and it made me realise how people are managed and to some extent, farmed.

Wandered around Kalamunda market today. Only took one lens for the K7, my fast becoming standard K7 partner, a Pentax 100mm f/2.8 macro.

The Sigma is faster than the 55-300mm yet the 60-250mm is a lot more versatile and also has better usable range.

300mm is far too short There's loads of stuff around that length. We need a 120-400mm f/5.6 zoom.
Or a 120-400mm f/4 ?

I would normally have said a 120-400mm f/2.8

I'm a strong believer in a wide DOF range as well as dynamic range so I tend to stay with f/2.8 lenses or faster.

This has just got silly. Just remembered why I don't do this any more.
I don't know who that was aimed at Gary, but I for one haven't said don't use JPEG and I'm certainly not elitist. I've been editing JPEGs since 1992 (saving them as TIFFs if I wasn't finished).
But RAW is here and I'm taking advantage of it.
Not aimed at any individual, rather the way the thread went pear shaped. It's been through the mangle many times.

i have found that the K5 needs more post processing to bring out all the detail the excellent camera can capture...and of course the images can take it
So is it fair to say that it's not a camera for those that are not proficient in post processing?

We should write to Pentax and complain about the poor quality product they offer. Why not just have a camera that produces RAW images?

If manufacturers expect us all to put up with inferior quality images produced through bespoke JPEG conversion algorithms then we should revolt and use film. That will show them.

For those that can't master post processing, take up fishing?

For the elite purists that are masters at all digital, what would we ever do without you?
