I used to keyword a lot but I recently went through and had too much stuff really disorganised so I deleted all my keywords and have started rebuilding my library. So far I have only bothered with files from my K10D and not older cameras.

I think I have streamlined it a lot now so I should be able to carry on with the same scheme for a long time now.

I use folders for year/month/day for my benefit should lightroom go tits up. I can then still find older JPEG, TIF, etc files by hand if required.

Lightroom's catalogue is quite good so I see no point in separating a RAW and a JPEG catalogue.

Plus you can render previews to a variety of sizes which is automatically managed. I use 1:1 previews and it is only 250MB average for my working files.

Yes, shooting in JPEG will give a much lowe dynamic range overall, however at least having highlight protection off you'll still be able to use ISO 80 and ISO100.

I would turn on the extended dynamic range in the shadows as that is virtually free.

The problem with highlight protection is it limits you to ISO200 when the camera can go down to ISO 80 and get even better DR overall in RAW.

Personally I don't think it is worth it.

The DA*200 can suffer from some heavy purple fringing though from what I have seen.

Strangely the 300 does now.

I overheard someone in LCE Plymouth a couple of years back say he couldn't compete with SRS. They also stopped being a Pentax Pro centre.

primes all the way for me. i can't deal with the size of f/2.8 zooms!
And with that set of primes why would you want them either?

Personally I think I'd prefer the 77 to the 70 though.
