Sounds about right.
Pentax sensibly calibrates the metering on the DSLRs for JPEG capture
to protect you from highlight saturation, which generally means a
little less than what you might expect for a film camera exposure of
the same ISO. This results in well-saturated midtones and colors with
minimal highlight blowout, and a little headroom for image
processing. You have much more leeway when capturing in RAW format,
where you can stand adding up to 1.3EV more exposure, depending upon
the scene dynamics, for best results.

They all appeared to be slightly under exposed, but easily handled in
PS.
Thanks,

As long as the exposure was on the mark and the scenes you shot
weren't too difficult with contrast, you should have decent pictures.

Group,
Just shot 9 fine jpg images which yielded files in the 'prox range
of
2.5mb to 3.5mb. Shot no RAW.
I know that there was a discussion on this topic several months
ago,
but what might I expect in the way of mb with such a file setting?
Local photo shop has a few DL's and offered one to play with. I
shot a
few frames which they transferred to a CD and gave it to me to
piddle
with.
