Getting to know my istD again.
Any C&C welcome.

Had to quote the OP as it deserves to be shown on page two of the thread.I spotted these layers on a steel-plated sign bolted to a wall near a bus-stop in Shoreditch, London.

I have just tried my Pentax Digital Spotmeter. The battery still has life in it. Two shots taken with my istD, SMC 135 f/2.5 full manual and metered with the Spotmeter.
C&C welcome.

Whaite balance set to daylight. All else as before. Maybe a little closer with the tripod though.
istD 50mm daylight WB
K10D 50mm daylight WB
K7 50mm daylight WB
No curves or sharpening. VERY VERY slight touch of level adj just to bring cursor under histogram at the white end.
All shutter speeds now show same.

I read previously about the AWB and forgot to set it to daylight!!!
Will re-shoot and see if the K10 pulls back in line.

OK. Just been out and shot the three cameras, istD, K10D and K7 using the new (to me) Pentax A 50mm f/1.7 that I bought this morning.
Here are the images. All from the same tripod spot.
istD
K10D
K7
All at ISO 200 and f/4. Odd that the K10D used 1/750 second whilst the istD and K7 used 1/500. Any one got any explanations? Although set to matrix, I believe the metering defaults to center weighted when a manual lens is fitted?
No sharpening. A miniscule level adjustment, no curves and sized to 800 pixels from the full image.

Out and about this morning and stumbled on a little gold mine. A camera shop with a good selection of second hand cameras and lenses.
Saw this for 15 pounds and thought "it has to be damaged".
Went in, tried it, all well, so I bought it. I didn't need another 50mm lens but for that money.....
So I will use this to do the shots on the istD, K10D and the K7.
