Just a heads up that Adobe Portfolio is now free for a limited time.

Stylistic feedback: The point of focus is typically the subject matter, but in your case the glass itself is out of focus, but the stem is in focus.
My eyes are darting to the TV remote and the end of the pen and the stem, but not the drink. Side consequence of razor thin/wide aperture lens, but for me I'd prefer to see the drink in focus?

Still thirsty looking at this, don't get me wrong, just felt I should provide some feedback on this one.

Out of focus areas and transition/colours is all very smooth and nice, just thinking the above could make the image pop a bit more.

Agree with all these points.

When zooming into a small area of the image, you’ve got less pixels available to play with, so often it’s loss of detail in those areas rather than noise.

Couple that with lens weaknesses like green/purple fringing on high contrast sections and it reduces the detail further.

Wouldn’t compare to a cell phone too much, as that likely has a lot of noise reduction already applied. On a good day, with the right lighting conditions etc, a modern cellphone can be pretty amazing, so they’re not as basic as they once were.

If you are viewing raw files then you will have to tidy these up, as being raw they have the beer minimum of processing applied.

If a jpg file is being used, then double check all the quality options are on max, and if any lens corrections cane applied etc.

I have owned the K-S1 and K-30. K-S1 is very fragile/made of light thin plastic, but IQ wise is epic for the price. K-30 is much better constrution/weather sealed, but I wouldn't go near that again (with it's aperture failure issues) if you paid me, or accept the idea that one day it will be for manual aperture control lenses only.

Light 35mm lens on the K-S1 is an awesome bundle. Uncomfortable grip and tiny burst buffer, but fun for group shots with the flashing lights countdown counter.

I would fully be up for a swap like this. I'm in the other boat, in that I'm looking to upgrade my current metal mount 55-300 to the PLM version as I'm hoping this would focus better with the K-3. I suspect shipping between NZ and UK would be painfully slow at the moment, so right trade/wrong time scenario.

All the best.

Argh, soo tempting!

Please someone snap this up quick!

If you are looking at landscapes, then manual focus film lenses can be a nice cheap way to get some nice glass. If you need AutoFocus then that's not the way to go, but static scenes for landscapes, especially if on a tripod and taking your time to focus/live view perhaps, and a mid range aperture say f8, then you don't necessarily need expensive lenses to get good results.

Nice score Bruce

Gets a bit more fun in video too, where you change the focal point in the scene and suddenly the field of view is changing as well.
Similar fun when you want to zoom in or out, but that changes the focus point in non parfocal lenses.

Video tends to highlight flaws you can usually gloss over or adjust/work around in stills.

As others have said, jpg is a processed raw - meaning it's had some manipulations done, in this case by the processor in camera.
There's no such thing as 'straight out of camera' really, as you're still using the camera settings (that you can influence) to process the raw into a jpg.

Raw is well pretty raw, so you'll need to adjust it as you would like to. There's no reason a raw file should necessarily load like a jpg file. Colour temp is one of the points of raw, as nothing is baked in like a processed jpg, and you have the ability to adjust as you like before processing to a jpg.
