Thanks, John.
I was a little disappointed with the sharpness and resolution on some of
the shots, myself. Whenever I've managed to get the lens right -- and
it's been more difficult than I expected -- it is amazingly sharp. But,
it's a challenging lens for me. I haven't put in nearly enough practice
with it.
As for using channels -- I'm ashamed to admit I don't have the foggiest
notion. Typically, I just use auto-leveling and a little cropping and
sometimes a filter called BW Styler, which can be a bit heavy-handed. I
need to learn more about using channels, curves and all manner of things
when it comes to Photoshop.
Thanks for the input!

Hi Walt - some nice shots there, but I felt that some of them were softer
than I would expect. 9423 is one example, but in others, like the two b&w
shots of the little hut, the resolution doesn't seem what I would expect. I
believe that converting to monochrome is best done using only one channel,
and I'm sure one of the gurus here will know which one!

Subject: GESO: Photo walk on a warm February day
Hi all,
We had an unseasonably warm day here in western Kentucky, so I thought I'd
take the cameras out and see what I came up with. I filled up a roll of
Plus-X 125 on the K1000 using my 135/2.5 and will have them developed soon.
On my K-x, I used my K-50/1.4 -- everything shot at
f/16 just to get a feel for it. I had mixed results, but all in all, was
happy with the results. I'm still learning the lens, obviously -- but, when
I get it right, I really love the results. Anyhoo ... here's the link:
