Very nice set, Phil. My favorite is number 5, 'Pitstone Windmill I'.

But isn't the river nearly a mile away from Elephant and Castle?

A mono of my earlier colour version - converted using a yellow filter and enhanced for contrast plus a gentle vignette, all in PSP X6:

Edited using PaintShop Pro X6. Straightened, then cropped to remove buildings left and right, a bit of sky and a lot of water. Desaturated the bright red under the bridge. Trial and error with adjustments to levels, etc., until it looked better to me:

I have Photoshop Elements (v. 10), mainly for its useful Adobe Camera Raw software (I think it's a simplified version compared to the full Photoshop one). But I like using PaintShop Pro (I have v. X6) for image editing.

Although Pentax DA (APS-C) lenses should fit the new FF K-mount body, I am curious regarding whether some DAs will be usable as FF lenses rather than "crop mode" lenses.

One problem could be vignetting of the image on the larger sensor, due possibly to a smaller image circle. I have just tried my DA 18-135 on an old MX film body, which has a clear bright FF viewfinder - that lens shows circular vignetting throughout its range. However, there appears to be no such problem with either my DA 55-300 or my DA 35 Limited prime.

But, of course, this simple viewing test does not show up any other problems (sharpness, distortion, etc.) that might arise in a FF image from a DA lens. I wondered if anyone here has any more information relevant to this.

Number 1 has far too much black for me - the square crop is much better. Even then I would lift some detail out of the foreground - it helps to lead the viewer to the building more effectively and gives more depth to the image.

Number 2 is the top choice for me - wonderful colours in the nicely composed scene and especially in the reflections.

The original looks fine to me Algi. I used bicubic sharper in PaintShop Pro to get down to 800x1200 quickly, and some jaggies have appeared. So partly my fault, but the further downsizing on the forum does seem to have exaggerated the effect. However, the image was posted to show that the 800x1200 has gone, having been changed to 533x800 by the forum software, so the maximum displayed is 800 pixels on the longest side.

Cheers.
