thanks Jono-I am not sure if the focus is spot on in this image thoughbrrrr. Certainly the right camera for the job - looks pretty darned cold to me (cold enough here (-10) , but no snow for us).
Love the first shot especially

It's so difficult isn't it. Certainly, as a 'walk about' lens, it's a cut above the rest - and of course the high ISO makes it even better. But it is a bit slow (not slow to focus however).You know that plate with grapes looks *really good*. That's the kind of color I wanted to see. All that with that lens? Maybe I should get that one and use it for weddings, skip on the high end one? I wonder.

Same here as well. I was reading the S2 thread. Why does it seem to be that MF shooters are higher maintenance, LOLWhat lovely images Jono. I'm a sucker for those from everyday around home life, as you know. I also saw your well thought out reasoning of why NOT to go MF. It's hard to resist those urges when you can swing the purchase and I give you a lot of credit for understanding why you think your photography succeeds.

What focal length do you typically use for weddings?You know that plate with grapes looks *really good*. That's the kind of color I wanted to see. All that with that lens? Maybe I should get that one and use it for weddings, skip on the high end one? I wonder.
Thanks! The shot of the grapes shows great color and light. And t_streng I like the below snow shot -- those are the conditions I bought the K-5 for. Hopefully I'll get some chance to put it to use over the holiday.I especially like these two - great colour and depth on the first one . . . and then there's something splendidly camp about the pose in the black and white shot. Excellent!
Is this assessment based on in-camera JPGs or JPGs processed from RAW? If it's the former, you can try playing with the in-camera sharpness settings - Extra Fine Sharpness +1 or +2 seems to work well from what I've seen.Again, I really like those images Jono and while I stay with my opinion that the K5 images do not have the last claritiy and byting sharpness I find them exceptiopnal regarding color and "film like" look. Overall very much to my taste.
Mine too. In fact it's what prompted me to buy my first Pentax DSLR, the K10D and now considering retiring the K20D for the K5.Again, I really like those images ../.. I find them exceptional regarding color and "film like" look. Overall very much to my taste.
from dng converted in LR, with noise reduction turned of and sharpness slightly increased.Is this assessment based on in-camera JPGs or JPGs processed from RAW?
