Another shot from my trip down to the Bristol area, not great weather so this was about the best I could manage.

This one's taken with the K20D + Pentax DA 17-70

Ian,

I've read some comments about it not being too noticeable over the K10D/GX10 but my initial impressions are it's quite a lot better. I didn't like Iso800 on the GX10 whilst having just taken a few at ISO1600 onthe K20D I'm more than happy with them..ok there's a little noise but it's not obtrusive in any way.

I'm very impressed with the K20D so far..as I mentioned in my first post the level of detail it catches is very impressive, something that's again very noticeable against the GX10

Simon

Thanks for the comments,

To be honest I haven't used the K20 long enough to spot any issues ... I wasn't aware that that it had any significant ones to be honest. I'm hoping it doesn't as the recovery of shadow detail was something I found a little disappointing with the GX10 - recovering detail produced quite a lot of noise & I was hoping the improved noise handling of the K20 would solve some of this?

I've just upgraded to the Pentax K20D, this is my first shot taken in Englands smallest city - Wells, near Glastonbury

I have to say the detail the K20D captures is incredible

All C&C appreciated

Simon

I'm selling my Sigma 17-70, excellent lens and a good copy - no scratches etc, it's been very well looked after !!

The lens comes with the original lens caps/hood & a non-brand centre pinch lenscap.

Unfortunately the box seems to have been discarded (I blame the wife) but it well be very well packaged

Any questions/interest please PM me

For info around 80% of the shots on my website were taken with it

thanks

Simon

I've just bought a K20D and having moved on from my previous GX10 (K10D) have to say I'm very impressed by the K20D images at ISO 1600 - I wasn't really happy with the GX10 at 800

Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'm by no means an expert in PP or B&W conversion & to be honest this is probably the best I can get from the shot with my limited skills.

For me I think the B&W works a little better, it has a bit more drama which unfortunately the colour version lacks a little due to the subdued/overcast lighting at the time it was shot

Simon

OK, cheers...is it significant how many shots you select, I suppose 3 would be enough in most situations?

Interesting stuff...how do you go about achieving this ?

thanks

Simon
