Well, I’m trying to save up for the k-3. We’re hoping to do a road trip this summer, and I’d like to have a K- 3 in hand. Thanks for the report, Juan! Love the pics! The trip looks great! Cheers, Christine On Feb 5, 2014, at 11:12 PM, Juan Buhler wrote: > Several weeks ago I asked here

Juan, sounds like you like the K3, how does the K3 manage aperture control with the K series lenses? How does the camera manage exposure control, are you required to preset with the green button procedure on the early cameras like the K-10? Jonathan -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:p

Thanks guys! Cotty--yes, I might have gone too far with the darkness. I was shooting in the sun, with very harsh light, and I thought maybe that look would work. Some times I need to revisit work and re render it a few months after the fact. It seems like this is going to be one of those times :)
