Fantastic news. Well done Pentax. I will be getting one of these lenses, maybe not immediately, but soon.

I have the FA 77mm 1.8 Ltd, and in my opinion the better FA* 85mm 1.4. But a new fast 85mm portrait lens from Pentax cannot be ignored.

My kidney goes on ebay tomorrow.

I'm not sure I have any answers, but just need to clarify one thing.... When you say you processed the image using the various RAW programmes, do I take it that you made no actual adjustments?

Correct. Loaded the DNG file and that's what I saw. Output immediately as jpg. All playing around with Affinity Photo (the one I'm most familiar with now) was after the jpg was created.

The point of using raw is that you need to use the sliders to adjust WB/exposure/colour etc to give you the result you want. Outputting immediately to jpeg is not an option unless you have set up the converters defaults to a preset you like, and indeed adjusting them for the individual picture.

does anyone use the Spyder 4 Elite with Windows 10? have tried to find a definitive answer on the net but as usual end up with convoluted answers to a simple question.

What exactly is the problem ?

I use a Spyder to calibrate my screen although not with the Datacolor software.

How you finding the upkeep of the coat as Ted's coat is a tangled mess of knots at the mo as it gets longer and longer!

We keep the fur on their backs quite short, but their ears and "skirts" are always full of knots despite daily brushing. Do you use a "slicker" brush ? they are the ones with lots of steel teeth.

We use a tangle teaser as was told that was the best thing to use! Turns out its not!

Get something like this. they really do work. Just be careful you don't overdo it or they can get brush burn. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Groom-Professional-Curved-Slicker-Medium/dp/B0090X59RM

When Pentax announced the DFA 50mm 1.4 they said that having conducted a detailed survey of their Japanese customer base (the largest by a mile), the demand was for high end star quality lenses. These will never be cheap. Both the DFA 50mm and 85mm fit this bill.

Giving your customers what they want seems to me to be a sound business strategy.

Like it. Well lit and it really stands out against the background.
