I'll take your three and add more accurate exposure with older non-A glass. Although adjusting the exposure when shooting static subjects is easy, I have missed a few grab shots because of this.

You should be able to tweak the curve without blowing the highlights. It looks like a photographic lodestone to me. I would treat it as a long term project, going back at different times of year and different times of day and building up a portfolio of images.
Best wishes, Kris.

Which camera did you use and did you have any problems mounting the lens?

Sorry folks, I must have left the digital at home that day. I'll be back there in the summer and can take some more then Perhaps I should take the Horseman... Dr. Mhuni wrote:
Kris, did you have a digital body with you that day? Would be very interesting to see any shots you took with that if so, as a point of comparison.
What a brilliant idea! Can you recall during the early days of digital, AP and other publications carrying out direct film vs. digital comparisons? (Often to the detriment of digital at the time!) Nobody, to my knowledge has done this for a while. certainly not since cameras like the K10 were introduced.Kris, did you have a digital body with you that day?

Something to make you smile, perhaps! K.

If the coating gives a slight cast (e.g., slightly magenta, just for the sake of argument) and the AWB is programmed to remove that cast, when you use a lens that doesn't have that slight cast it will "correct" it giving a different value for the AWB. Or that is my take on it anyway!
I am just guessing wildly really but there is no doubt that certain K series lenses (esp the 135mm f/2.5) always give quite different AWB values compared to more modern lenses.

My guess is that the AWB setting is also designed to take the modern coatings into account which is why the white balance between K series and DA series lenses can be very different.
