Hi again, I may have oversharpened the first web sized attempt on this but I didnt alter the levels on this shot from the capture, it was already pegged from full black to full white on the histogram as captured (most likely due to the blazing highlights in the chrome struts) and the limited dynamic range of the camera. I dont prefer soft or prefer contrasty, I prefer accurate reproduction of whatever the lens was aimed at. Actually, based on my experience, It is ususally indicative of a good exposure and good lens whenever the histogram reaches a full spread like that.
Anyway, heres another attempt at this one (larger still) , hopefully it better shows this RMC tokina 17mm F3.5 lens to actually be pretty good in my opinion. http://www.jchriso.com/temp/17MMRMCTOKINASAMPLE1L.jpg JCO -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Lacus Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 4:57 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: beauty shot: Pentax K10D- 17mm lenses are out there Hi David, > Is it just me or does that shot look over sharpened? way oversharpened/too contrasty - that was my immediate opinion after seeing the small picture. On the bigger one it's not so pronounced. But it's really hard to say, JPEG compression plays its' role here among other things. Personally I prefer softer/less contrasty look to pictures.
