Like these a lot Gary. You had some beautiful light there - in the last two anyway. A crop of the last one could rid the shot of the group on the left hand side who aren't quite in or out of shot.

Karl these are fantastic. I agree, they've a lot more character than digital. Not just the grain and tones, the dof is nicer too.

Perhaps your lab scanned at a higher resolution, and output the files at 300dpi. That would be too low a res to scan something as small as a negative.

Something like the AF280T should fit the bill, presuming you can work around the fact it doesn't have pTTL auto. It does have old-style auto mode though, using a little light sensor on the front. AF280T on ebay.

I think it's exciting as long as the new Pentax continues to bring out DSLR's like my KX and now KR(or their future equivalent) that are such value for money as well as of good quality and innovative.

As for full frame I spend time with a pro friend lugging his bulky Canon and giant lenses around. Not for me as my APS-C Sony sensor does all I'd ever want!

No reason why such a camera need be larger than say a K20d, and as for lenses, think along the lines of the FA24-90m (reputed to recently have been back on sale new), or something like the F35-70mm (tiny) or even the new DA35mm, which would be even better on FF than APSC. And this isn't even mentioning the FA ltds!

Some people are quite bizarrely sensitive on the 'professional' issue, and the best way to deal with it is to rise above it, rather than engage them further.

Looking good Bob. I like the slide shot, nice comp and colors.

Don't be despondent about the mark 1 kit lens. It's not as if the mark 2 is DA* standard, although at some point you might want to upgrade to the WR version.

Re image sharpness, are you doing an unsharp mask after resizing?

Bernard, once set, the settings will stick until you press the green button again or adjust shutter speed manually.

Robin, that Viv certainly looks pretty good. Thanks for the article you linked to as well. I feel happy with my choice of 135. But the little Pentax M f3.5 I also have is great too. Slower and not as good wide open, but small size and low cost are great attributes, and it readily beats the DA50-200mm in the sharpness and bokeh stakes.

Very interesting. But there's no real reason Pentax couldn't just use a shorter register K mount. Even coming up with a totally new mount wouldn't be a problem, this stuff is Pentax stock & trade.

But having access to that massive Sony market might be a good business move.
