Lovely set of images from a lovely part of the world. Lots of great walks around Rydal, including the Coffin Route.

I suspect they are already well into working on the next properly new lens, most likely a fast moderate wide (to go with the DFA* 50/1.4 and 85/1.4), these little re-vamp projects are a relatively cheap way of refreshing the line-up and will appeal to quite a few users I would imagine (cheap (relatively), compact, lightweight, new coatings, etc.). An UWA would be interesting but I think there may be a few others to arrive before they produce that
I suspect you are right John. The "nifty fifty" is optically the easiest lens to produce well, and the optical formular of these revamps dates back to the "K" series 50/1.4. No need to change any of that, and with new coatings presents an affordable, lightweight lens, that will also work with a "future" film SLR.

The DFA* 50mm 1.4 is an exeptional lens of completely new design, but that is reflected in the weight and price. Choice for a photographer is always good.

Regarding a FF 15mm...... Pentax used to make a point in advertising that they never sold enough of the old K 15/3.5 to make a profit on them. I would love to see a new one too, but it would be horrifically expensive. Until then there is of course the exceptionally good 15-30 f2.8

Firefox have fixed this with v113.0.1

It sets the gfx.color_management.native_srgb to false as default now.

However, in my FF setup, the line “gfx.color_managment.mode” (i.e. the line above the one you highlighted) shows a setting of "2" instead of the "1" shown in your screen clip.

Is the difference significant, and if so should I change mine to "1"?
My understanding has always been that 1 applies colour management to all items (images and graphics), whearas 2 only applies it to tagged images.

Thanks for the headsup - and (from a relative Firefox tyro) how/where do can those settings be found?
In a browser address bar type: about:config then accept the warning type gfx.color and you will find them.

Close browser and open again

For anyone using Firefox browser with a wide gamut screen, the latest Firefox update v113.0 has caused problems with colour management. Not only will the default settings show over-saturated colours on web page objects (banners etc), but photos will be over-saturated too as the tagged profile is not being applied.

From the Mozzilla help forums, I have discovered settings which appear to fix it, although I do not generally like changing settings without knowing exactly what they do. Settings are below.
