Re: An opinion: How much better can things get?

I don't know. I think we're spoiled. Sure small sensor cameras lack dynamic range, when compared to larger formats, but compare any format larger than 1" to 35mm slide film. Even 35mm reversal film didn't have 13+ stops of dynamic range. On 1/9/2017 6:12 PM, steve harley wrote: On

Re: Kodak to bring back Ektachrome!

There you do with logic and reason. You know Kodak* owns the trademark on Kodachrome. I wouldn't put it past them to formulate an E6 reversal film to look kinda like Kodachrome and sell that instead... *The successor company. On 1/9/2017 3:40 PM, Mark Roberts wrote: Zos Xavius wrote:

If you do, let us know where. I still have several Kodachrome 64 cartridges for my Pentax Auto 110 lurking in the back of my freezer. It would be nice to be able to use them & free up some room back there. Kodak used to have a technical data sheet for the K-14 process on their web site, but

Re: If I upgrade from my K5 ... lenses and IR conversion question

For demosaicing(sp???) to work, the firmware has to take into account the color filters over each photosite. If you could remover the Bayer filter, (which I think is impossible, based on my knowledge of how it's applied), the camera would need completely rewritten firmware, possibly even new

Yes, I feel your pain because I've felt the same way since I bought my first SLR: a Pentax ME-Super with a 50mm 1.4 lens. While it seemed to be a great body, too many of my pics were not exposed right. When I borrowed a friends Nikon FE (or FM) + 50mm 1.4 lens, I was shocked at the perfect
