Would anyone want to crop the sensor from their camera?

Philip

The Ricoh/Pentax values of 23.5mm x 15.6mm might well be correct for describing the actual image capture area, if they have been rounded to one decimal place.

Working to 3 decimal places for a hypothetical example, if the dimensions were 23.485mm x 15.615mm, the ratio would be very close to 1.504 - similar to the actual pixel ratio (6016:4000) - and using those hypothetical dimensions would give a crop factor of 1.534.

So the 1.53 Jules has got in his head might be the correct answer!

Cheers.

But Jules wrote in his first post that the K-3 sensor is 23.5mm x 15.6mm (as shown on the Ricoh web site) so, assuming the same method of calculation, the crop factor would be 1.5339.

Those are very good - I had one on my Panasonic. Must order one for my new MX-1 - thanks for the link Ian.

The latest firmware might help (if not already installed).

Nice image, Paul. It looks a pretty scary place - by the size of the wall that must be one huge hole.

Philip

Good shots Barrie. #1 for me - shows the power of these machines.

Thank you for your comment, col55555ine, and for your MX-1 image, Chris - was it a B&W shot, or have you converted it from colour? I did post a series of shots of an unusual bridge here, but they not as dramatic as yours!

I didn't use any special features on those shots, Nigel, just small adjustments to brightness and contrast, and slight cropping of some of them, in PP.

I probably shouldn't have read the posts from Steve and Jon re. the ND filter - that's now another type of cliche shot to attempt, and add to all the others I do!

But thank you to you all anyway.
