By "technical quality" it seems that you mean "resolution" and that seems unfortunate. At this point I am going to attack one of digital's best and worst characteristics: Speed.
Here are my suggestions for making better images: 1. Get rid of any mediocre lenses you have and only get good ones. A few good is better than a lot of junk. 1.1 It's hard to do a good job with poor tools. 2. Never shoot a pic in less than 15 seconds -- unless it is a potential Pulitzer winner that cannot be passed up. 2.1 Compose, compose, compose. 2.2 Control light. Add fill flash. Subtract light with black panels. Fill shadows with reflectors. 2.3 You determine picture quality. Not the camera. Not the lens. When you were shooting film you worried about bad frames and their associated expense. You took your time and tried to get the right shot. Stick with that principle. Remember that today's speed of digital is a tool, not a solution. Improper use of even the best tool will drop quality. Get a medium format to serve as a learning discipline reinforcer. RB67 outfits can be had today for <$200. There was just listed an ETRS on APUG for $160 shipped. Something like these will give you the necessary slow-down for improve composition. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
