Thanks, Boris. Yes, I like the K-5! I'm happy to have it & the K-7 as a kit now. So much lighter to carry in the bag, and similar interface. Drove me nuts when I had to shift from K-7 to K20. I'm probably going to put the K10D & K20D up for sale. Cheers, Christine

Comments welcome, Cheers, Christine

Some excellent photographs in either set, Christine. Isn't K-5 a great camera?

I noticed as of recently that with K-5 the following interesting LR trick works.

* By default in development module the exposure is set to 0 and brightness to 50.

* I now as a matter of course dial brightness down to 15 or even less (still positive though). Then I dial exposure to compensate.

Somehow the result looks just a bright but this way it is better - more pleasing to my eyes. I cannot really explain it, but it works for me.

In fact, tonal range of K-5 is such that great many ways of playing with the image tonality become possible.

Boris
