Another good Dorset view, Nigel - nicely framed.

Just as a matter of interest, did you try downloading the update file again and installing it from a different card?

I love old windows generally but particularly old church stained glass - whether simple and muted or complex and colourful. They are one of my favourite photographic subjects. I have several photos taken in Markyate Church (I live in Hemel), but I must have missed this window so I am enjoying your photo, Kris!

I completely agree Steve (except in my case KP), and I consider it to be quite impertinent to be told to buy a K-1.ronniemac wrote:

Ditto. I find the articulated rear screen so useful that I would not now consider a camera without it. However, before you all cry buy a K1, I do not want the bulk and weight of a full frame DSLR and lenses. So, I'll be sticking with my KS-2 and K70 bodies.By choosing to opt for a fixed rear screen, Pentax are to be thanked for saving me something in the region of £1,500.

The lack of an articulated screen is disappointing. As my age increases and mobility decreases, it means that the enjoyment of being able to capture low level shots, possible with the KP or K-70, would be ruled out using K-New. This seems contrary to Pentax Principle 5 in particular:-
"5. We respect and value the photographic experiences of our users and view this as an invaluable asset. We want to share all the inspiring experiences of our users, from the hardware to the shooting processes, creating and viewing the images."

I like these, Nigel - well composed, nice colours, and loads of detail. Certainly a worthwhile expedition.
All the best.
Philip.

The natural stone appeals to me also, Rob. What was the original background?

Lens corrections are available for some of the film era lenses. The three FA LTD lenses plus the FA* 24mm f2 and FA* 85mm f1.4 are included in the K1 software. I am pretty sure the FA 50mm 1.4/1.7 are too.Its imaging can be further improved by applying the K-1's in-camera lens corrections.

I like the compositions and colours of these, and Nigel's editing seems to add local contrast which I also like. The one I find puzzling is the very first image - there seems to be a strange distortion of the staircase going on there. Is it really like that?
