The K1 PEF is not supported. Adobe ended support for CS6 Camera Raw with 
the July 29 2015 release of ACR 9.1.1.
Users of the K1 either need to shoot DNG or use the Adobe DNG converter 
on your PEFs and end up with a DNG file anyway.


I started shooting DNG with the K10 because Adobe was slow to update ACR 
and have continued to shoot that format. I see no reason to not shoot 
DNG files if you are using Adobe products.

Well, the end of nice days anyway. It was 70 degrees F in Michigan today, so I 
knocked off work early and retreated to the yard with my big glass and a 
chilled cocktail. All the leaf blowers running in the neighborhood probably 
scared off some of the birds. Plus, I had let the feeder run dry until this 
morning. But I still managed a decent sparrow shot between sips of my scotch on 
the rocks. A good day to be sure.

Re: K-1 and Photoshop CS6

[P.J. Alling]

The only reason to use PEF format is if you're shooting a *ist-D since 
it doesn't support DNG or you need to save space, as early 
implementations on Pentax cameras produced DNGs 130% to 200% the size of 
a PEF file.  That hasn't been an issue for quite some time.

I have the PZ and use it regularly on the K5.  It seems to work well.
Of the post-wedding pics that I posted ... the tractor shot was done with
it.
I'm quite satisfied with it.  And these days they go cheap.

Re: K-1 and Photoshop CS6

[John]

According to Adobe's web site:

K-1 DNG & PEF are supported by Adobe Camera Raw 9.5.1 or later.

ACR for Photoshop CS6 will not be updated beyond 9.1.1.

I'm still using Photoshop CS6 Extended with the default Camera Raw
plugin (7.0) and have had no problems with Pentax K-1 DNG files.

I switched to DNG with the K20D and have used them for the K-3 & K-1, as
well as going back and setting the K10D to DNG.

If you don't want to use DNG as your raw format, the latest stand alone
DNG converter might work for you.

I read a good review on the D FA 28-105. But $500?
While I appreciate Pentax, ok Ricoh, apparently pulling a Sony and going

:-)


I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality.  It has become my 
default outdoor lens, with my tamron 28-75/2.8 being my default indoor 
zoom and my 50/1.4 being my default prime.



Has anyone compared the three film 28-105 lenses to the D FA?


I don't know about optical quality, but it has weather sealing, and 
that's a big deal.  If I could afford the weather sealed 24-70, I'm not 
sure how my usage would line up, the added range is nice to have.




Also, I've put the FA50/2.8 macro on a DSLR in shop.  Have to be careful
about light intensity as I can get a blue spot in the middle of the images.
Have read of this on Nikon forums as well. It appears to be a conflict
between the character of the old film coatings against reflections off the
sensor. But it only happens under product lighting (FL). (Never happened
with the A50/2.8 Macro.) Anyone else here dealing/dealt with the issue?


Have you had the problem if you use black, or grey backdrops?  Are your 
backdrops and lights set up so that they reflect the light straight back 
into lens down the line of sight?

PESO: Fly Me To The Moon

[Malcolm Smith]

Well, I was never going to get a shot of the Moon this week at the right
time.

 

So this is my take on it, shot early on this morning. Very noisy and it
makes the sky look textured, but that's part of the appeal.

Only three film-era 28-105's? Anyway, I have the FA28-105/4-5.6, bought new 
with my PZ-1p, probably the first generation of this lens type. Tried it 
recently on the K-1. Does not work well, unless you like purple outlines around 
everything. I thought I would keep it for sentimental reasons, but will sell it 
for spare change plus postage if you want to try it.

To Ann and Marco in New York, a lively lunch in a spot Ann knows well, and so 
much good advice and
help from her over the time we were there.
To Mark in Boston, whom we kept waiting for far too long, but then managed to 
have an interesting
chat over lunch: the day marred by the coldest weather we had on our entire

To Christine, Bob and Lynn in Chicago - what a time to be there, with the Cubs 
success and the

We had a really great time with everyone, and would love to do it again someday

"Hi" to all.

Thanks again, guys,

Re: Are the lenses really that good?

[P.J. Alling]

I don't know from first hand experience the quality of the Pentax 
28-105mm, but I think you're asking the wrong question.


Whether the D FA 28-105 is that good or not is irrelevant.  Look at the 
prices for equivalent lenses from other manufactures that offer cameras 
with FF sensors.


I haven't actually done an extensive search but, to start out with the 
only lens I could find that actually matches the gross specifications of 
the Pentax is an older Tamron Adaptal which B is selling for about $500.


Nikon doesn't have a FF in that exact focal range, but their 24-85mm 
f3.8~5.6 is selling at B for, oh look at that about $500.


Canon has a 24-105mm f3.5~5.6 which is selling selling for $600. Canon 
also has a 28-135mm f3.5~5.6 selling for $300.  I suppose you could take 
the average and say Canon is about the same but selling for less...


Sony well they don't have a pro-sumer zoom in A mount, according to 
their site anyway, so you go straight to their 24-70 f2.8 pro offering 
at about two grand, for the E mount they offer a 28-70mm f3.5~5.6 for, 
oh, look, about $500.


So there's your answer if you want a second tier normal zoom for a full 
frame digital camera in any current system, you're going to pay $500 
whether it's worth it or not.


As to the macro reflection issues, I don't have a good answer.  It might 
depend on what are you using for light sources.  Flash or continuous.  
If continuous, tungsten, florescent, or LED.  Maybe you can change the 
lighting type to alleviate the problem.  I really don't know it's not an 
issue I've run into.

Has anyone compared the three film 28-105 lenses to the D FA?

Also, I've put the FA50/2.8 macro on a DSLR in shop.  Have to be careful
about light intensity as I can get a blue spot in the middle of the images.
Have read of this on Nikon forums as well. It appears to be a conflict
between the character of the old film coatings against reflections off the
sensor. But it only happens under product lighting (FL). (Never happened
with the A50/2.8 Macro.) Anyone else here dealing/dealt with the issue?

They also distract from the duck.

Are the lenses really that good?

[Collin B]

I read a good review on the D FA 28-105. But $500?
While I appreciate Pentax, ok Ricoh, apparently pulling a Sony and going
largely pro-sumer with some quality glass, I need to be able to afford it.
