Personally, I can't make up my mind. Here they are together.

I had another go at this. This time I reduced the red in grayscale mix and increased exposure a bit more. I think it's improved the contrast but might now be 'overdone'.

No Emma, you can't. That will only work with the Pentax body for which it is intended.

You can use the Samsung version from here.

I believe it contains the same updates as the Pentax one.

Thank you George.

I have to say I'm no portrait expert and I feel the image could look even better. I just can't think why, or how.

There is that dark shadow over her left shoulder though.

All done in Adobe Lightroom 2.4.
Cropped to remove her right arm and to move eyes onto thirds (more or less).
Increased exposure & contrast.
Cloned out the skin imperfections on face, neck, and forehead.
Cloned out the catchlights.
Reduced sharpness (softened) her face, nose, forehead.
Played with curves until it looked right (to me).

Job's a good 'un.

I think you mean Ray. Similar, in that the names have only three letters, but their the similarity ends.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM maybe not then still wonder what its actually like

Probably rubbish. Bolt-on (OK, scew-on) lenses rarely, if ever, improve image quality.

Save your money and buy a lens fit for the purpose.

The Pentax K-M (European and other regions name)and K2000 (USA name) are identical except in model number.
