That's where he lost me -- it simply confirmed he knew absolutely nothing about how to properly use C1."It so happened that the “High Dynamic Range” tool of Capture One (basically Highlight and Shadow tone recovery sliders) were completely inadequate for making a usable raw conversion,
Namely, a larger-format camera with a reasonable price-to-performance ratio. I'm still not sure MF is for me, but it has suddenly become a less-distant possibility.
And this is the second reason they lost me... You are exactly correct Sergei, downline processing can alter results dramatically.Convert both RAWs with their "devoted" convertors , but no tweaking done. Then you getting some idea or noise and details.
I hear you TR, and I think this camera EXACTLY fills that space. And IMHO at it's price, it does not have to be "equal to" the big boys in the same pixel count arena --- sometimes "good enough" is just that...But for those of us who remain mere mortals (or worse, virgins), the Pentax is exactly what we've been hoping for and waiting for.

Ahh an M9, I would too if I could only use the darn things, perhaps some day if they had a focus assist capability.I think if Michael Reichman and Mark Dubovoy repeated the exercise using the Phase One & Pentax setup we'd surely be looking at a more definitive outcome. The whole article lacked any rigor for my liking ...
But it did reinforce my desire to get another M9 though
Speaking of which, and while i remember to ask - Jack, can you suggest any book/e-book/dvd on tapping into C1 for real?And this is the second reason they lost me... You are exactly correct Sergei, downline processing can alter results dramatically.
