Hi Bob,

Thanks, I use my A50/1.2 quite a lot with the K-x, I have two favoured

hope Boris is enjoying his A50/1.2 as I have enjoyed mine over the
last 20 years+ ;-)

I actually always shoot RAW+ and have the jpg set at 2MP, I find that
I don't need much more and if I do it's always better going back to
the RAW file in any case, the buffer on the K-x has not been even a
slight hindrance to me.



Impressive, beautiful, excellently done.

Yes, I do enjoy my A 50/1.2 for a couple of years ;-) that I had a 
privilege of having it. There was about a half year hiatus when I had to 
deal with KE FS on my K-7.


But Rob, you have mastered yours, that's certain.

 Hi Team,

 Another pano shot last weekend. The image was captured hand held using
 K-x and smc PENTAX-A 50mm F1.2 f4 1/25, ISO 250 and assembled using
 Autopano rendered in a cylindrical projection. The source files
 consisted of 12 portrait 2MP in-camera JPG files. The output file
 contrast was modified using curves then reduced to 50% of its original
 size.

 Still not sure about the image brightness, it's always a difficult
 task to render mixed lighting at dusk. It's got a bit of a tilt issue
 but still it stands as a testament to Pentax SR given that it was shot
 from a moving harbour ferry ;-)

that the pano deserves further attention.

Thanks Bruce, it nearly didn't happen, I made one failed attempt,
screwed up the manual exposure somehow, really under then I gave it
another go, spot on. I just wish it were a little better levelled, it
sort of puts me off working further with it, though I could
potentially shoot it again (more leisurely from the docks next time).

Thanks Christian, if you checked the 1:1 crop up this reply a little

crappy little Pentax camera ;-)

Guess it's my turn soon, we've met on my turf three times I think?
