I suppose it's all about the interpretation of the histogram reading too - whilst it may show some loss of one of the colour channels this is perhaps preferable sometimes to underexposing the rest of the shot, obviously depends on the "scene" been captured

simon

I'm continuing my learning process with my GX10 & whilst I've always used the histogram in "standard" view, which I assume is the luminosity channel I've never really used the "RGB" option.

Obviously the RGB provides even more detail of the image - how many users utilise the RGB ?

I own the Sigma 17-70 & the 50-200 kit lens but will soon add the Tamron 18-250 (much cheaper than the Pentax copy).

I'll still use the 17-70 for most of my landscape shots but the 18-250 will probably replace the 50-200, it's just a great option when travelling or in situations where you may well encounter a variety of photograph opportunties.

From most accounts IQ wise it's better than any other "superzoom" offering & doesn't sound too far off many other more limited range options

A handheld / high iso shot taken whilst in York last week - should have been taken with tripod but didn't have it with me at the time

Another lens on my "wish list" - already have the sigma 17-70 which has impressed me

simon

I own the 17-70 & use it pretty much exclusively. I highly recommend the lens, great sharpness/colour rendition & contrast. I use it 90% of the time for landscape photography so can't fully comment on its use for weddings

This is a rework of a sunrise shot I captured last week, just messing around with it really & thought the B&W version sort of worked ?

simon

I'll definitely be buying the 18-250 for an upcoming trip, having read every review going it seems the ideal travel lens

simon

I've been reading reviews & trawled through a few forums looking at info on the 18-250 lens (probably the Tamron version due to cost).

I currently own the 50-200 which I'm reasonably happy with but with a few travels on the horizon I'm seriously considering replacing it with the 18-250.

Do any users have experience of both of these lenses. I'm intrigued to know the "Pros & cons" of swapping the 50-200 for the 18-250 ?

thanks

It's a fact that some people are much more prone to Red-eye than others.

Pupil size could well be the cause, coincidentally when at the opticians last week I was told I have more than normally large pupils and I always look like the devil when I have my photo taken !!!
