Ashwin, All are great, but I really liked the shot of the batters. Great timing.On that note, on to some content from this eve....
Thank you Ashwin.Fantastic colors in this image. Bravo, Carl!
Me too Rich - UConn class of '59. :clap:Ashwin......you always catch the best Husky sports shots.......Bravo!!
I'm a Husky too......(UConn )........how I ever ended up in Hawaii, I'll never know.

These look great Rich. Try boosting saturation to 30 -40 in RPP.A few from today with the 35. I have to figure out how to film bracket...the Velvia is pretty over the top at times.
I'm going to have to bug Carl again.....I tried to get close to these jpegs (but not so vibrant and saturated) using RPP, but they seemed flat.
I guess that's another discussion.

Great to see that the 15 is performing so well on the XP1. I need to dig mine out and give it a try.One last one from today with the CV15/4.5.....no crop....SOOC.

That is a constant reminder in the back of my mind before I pick up a camera which makes all my snaps, hmm..Sorry, guys, but wee see photos of a content which should make us think and discuss or even do something. Whether or not a tool puts out technically good files is completely irrelevant in this context. Or did I missunderstand something?

No magenta corners or color smearing.

Roy,Last posting for a spell...got no reaction/response to last set...probably due to deja vue all over again...so I'll back off for a while and enjoy the work of others.
Here's a set from this AM's walk-around: 60/2.4 jpegs. Used the Velvia mode...like South Beach with the color. Tried the 90 Summicron R with Pro X adapter...like focusing through the bottom of a beer bottle.
Nice image compliments to Ashwin, Carl, Lee, Rich...waiting to see Jim Radcliffe's first Pro X output.
Thanks, Roy!Nice image compliments to Ashwin, Carl, Lee, Rich...waiting to see Jim Radcliffe's first Pro X output.
Not to speak for retow or anything, but I think I understand what he's saying. The series of shots with the signs made of children in troubled homes have a highly emotional and social political message. I hoped that when we see images like that, they should first tug at our hearts to feel for the children, before they tickle our minds about the composition or color rendering. They did made me look up the organization behind those signs, so Ashwin your shots did "good" work. And BTW, great photos, too!I think you have misunderstood...not sure if we are on the same page, and as I don't understand your comment or inquiry...sorry...
No problem, Ashwin.. I've been in class for the last week with not a single opportunity to get out and shoot.. I hate it when that happens. May have a chance this weekend to take a few shots.Thanks, Roy!
Hope Jim doesn't mind, but here are some pics and throughts of his of the XPro-1 from his site:

Oh yes, now that clears it up. THanks, David....And yes, Retow, absolutely correct...Not to speak for retow or anything, but I think I understand what he's saying.

So far I am amazed by the output of the X-Pro1 and the two lenses I own. The camera is fun to use and the icing on the cake is the amazing output. I love it and can't wait to pick up the 60mm to complete my set of lenses.
The X-Pro1 may be the only camera I take with me during my upcoming trip to California.. there is a part of me that says take the K5 and a couple of lenses but I may just leave everything at home and concentrate on using the X-Pro1.
I can honestly say that I have never owned a camera that has produced such amazing photos. That includes my M8 and my 5D and 5D MKII. I think the X-Pro1 beats them both on numerous levels and numerous ways.
The AF is slow but then 99% of what I shoot does not require super fast AF capabilities.
I am going to buy an M adapter and a Minolta adapter.. maybe even a K-Mount adpater.. I have so much glass and am truly thankful the X-Pro1 will be able to mount all of it... what a versatile camera it is.
It doesn't take much these daysHappy you are happy Rich
Class of '72..... Go HuskiesMe too Rich - UConn class of '59. :clap:
Carl....thanks AGAIN......here is a shot in RPP (35mm and AutoDR). RPP retained a lot of detail lost in the jpeg. Not the greatest picture....just illustrative of the detail available in RAW.Try boosting saturation to 30 -40 in RPP.
Now Rich, are you complaining? :ROTFL:It doesn't take much these days
I got rid of a Canon 7D because of noise at base ISO.....my GH2 has quite a bit too. So what's the deal?
