Looks good to me too.

He posts scans of mono prints and they often display differents qualities to dslr images.

I shot film for decades and I'm not going back but I get the impression there's a hard core minority who still enjoy it. Our own Gray Summers for example who posts some excellent scanned images.

Some folks here went and created their own forum. There are now at least 5 English speaking Pentax forums on the net that I know of. Probably 3 more than we need. I'm happy with this one, I mainly post in the Gallery and have no interest in other makes.

Am I being stupid here (quite possibly) but if Pentax releases a FF camera all that is needed for APS-C lenses (and I sure someone will make one) is a dedicated extension tube cum adaptor so that the APS-C image fills the FF sensor. Yes there will be some light loss but that isn't so important as modern sensors have high ISO capabilites. With full electrical and mechanical contacts the camera will still control the lens and exposure compensation can be dealt with by either a chip in the tube or firmware updates.

Its a good picture but did you do anything to it after scanning. Has a kind of processed look.

There are provisions though -

Core functions: notably the ability to use the Develop module, are unavailable once the subscription lapses, but users retain the ability to view, organize and export images. The Quick Develop module is also still available for use.

They are fascinating to look at. We have a couple of family pictures from long ago.

I live near to one of the large London cemetries created in Victorian times to cope with the (then) appalling lack of burial space. One tomb has a photo of the deceased on an enamel panel which I guess would have been a new process in those days but the image is still as good as new after all these years.

Your picures show that practical ability and experience are more important than technology. (I'm thinking of getting a K10 myself).

Possibly the feet don't need to be there at all, they distract from the faces. Nothing about the grass bothers me, but the contrast looks slightly flat in the faces of the two females. Overall though it's a very good picture and their eye contact dominates it.
