Don,

Thanks for the tip - will check it out for sure, Cheers.

pentaxian450 - will follow your advice as well, Merci.

I'm willing to bet that the post processing world is WAY bigger than the camera world.

Just 50 years ago I was kneeling beside our bathtub in the dark developing B&W prints and confused by the "huge" assortment of papers available. That was post processing.

Who knew?

Thanks my Friends,

Off into the wild blue ....... to process it of course - WILDER! MORE BLUE!!!

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone downloaded this post processing software, and what did you think of it?

I've been using a VERY basic ACD Editor ('cause I'm a VERY basic guy) and I'm wondering if the above would be a good baby step forward.

Full-blown PhotoShop scares the ---- out of me

Cheers!

And..........

It's done. Order for the screen with brightness and no AF marks has gone to Katz-eye.

(This transaction just presented me with an indication of how much the Canadian dollar has fallen in comparrison to the US buck. We're only at 78 cents now. Ow!)

And I'll probably get dinged another 15% at Canadian Customs.

Oh, what we'll do to feed our hobby

Excellent Pete!

Thanks for all your efforts.

I'm committed now!

Have a great day!

Pete,

I'm going to switch to center weighted right away to get used to it.

Thanks for letting me off the hook for the comparison.

I think I'll spring for the brightness coating in a leap of faith.

Back to the website .......

Appreciate the input!

Thanks Pete!

With a K110D pentaMIRROR, I agree that the brighter the better.

Never thought of the spot metering being affected, but you make a very good point. Did you move next to Center Weighted?

Agree that the AF marks are not needed - nor the extra cost.

Should I buy two? One with, and one without the coating, to do a side-by-side brightness comparison? I'll ask the Katz-eye folk if they can show me examples - might be less costly!

I'll let you know how that goes.

Cheers,

Don!

Nice shots Dave!

Interresting to really see the comparrison twixt 18 and 24mm - quite significant.

400 ASA in the freezer - lasts forever.

(Will probably outlast the facility to get it developed ) I have a freezer full of Fuji 400.

Enjoy your P30!

How does it do with your film lenses?

Hi Folks,

Watch this - I'm going to stay ON topic! (I think), (sort of).

I just googled the Katz-eye site and they offer two extra options to the $105.00 standard screen,

I wonder what you think of these:

Optibrite Brightness Enhancement Treatment - $55.00

Pentax AF Area Brackets - $40.00

I for one, would be getting the Katz-eye for manual focusing, so shouldn't need the AF brackets?

Would the brightness option be some sort of SMC like coating?

Appreciate any and all advice!

Cheers,
