Hi Dave ... I don't care for that at all. The hand coloring seems inappropriate for the subject, and is overdone (too many keys colored). One or two keys might have made a statement, or been more intriguing, but, imo, this is a bit over the top. Kudos for trying the experiment, though ;-))

Hi Kevin, there is a custom function in which you must explicitly engage the firing with non-A lenses. Have you done that already? Have you also installed the new firmware which makes metering with M-lenses much easier? I can fire my ist-D even with enlarger lenses from the darkroom on an old

Hi Dave ... There's no magic number for sharpening, and there are several techniques. Assuming that you're using a digital image for the base, convert to lab mode, and bring up the lightness channel. Sharpen only that channel. Set the threshold to zero, pixels to one, and USM sharpness to 10.
