Ann, I do appreciate the feedback. Oftentimes the photographer is the worst person to judge their own photos because it is nearly impossible to look at each photo with eyes that are not biased by the experience of taking the photo. Thanks also to Tim and Steve for the feedback too. >>> >> >> For what it's worth, 11-28 are shot available light ISO, mostly ISO 6400. >> The rest are shot with flash, a lumiquest light box on the 540.

I'm afraid that my little stormtrooper is terribly neglected these days, the K-5 isn't so much larger than the K-x that the smaller size of the K-x makes up for the lack of all the other advantages of the K-5. Compared to the K20 it was not only significantly smaller, but the sensor worked so much better in all but very good light I pretty much only used the K20 when the weather sealing or dual thumbwheels etc. made a big difference. The K-5 is such a great performer that for the most part any upgrade along that path will pretty much be a case of "want" rather than "need". -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
