Re: A Macro Lens Question

Shel, I think (perhaps wrongly) that when you take a regular lens and put it on extender, bellows or any other such device, you essentially enlarge the middle portion of the image circle thereby achieving your magnification. The macro lens is designed to sustain such an "abuse" and still give you

Hi! Recently I met a person who uses EOS 20D and couple of L lenses - 17-40/4 and 70-200/4 both being L lenses. We looked at each other's photos and I was very impressed with the way the L lenses produce very plastic, very 3D images. He on the other hand pointed out that few of my works were very

Re: Concerned

Mike, Ability to render very subtle changes of light and shade. This in turn gives the image very 3D look. You almost feel like you're present on site. This is what I would call plasticity. The lens that is not like this has very few distinguishable transitions from light to darkness and back. S

Re: Concerned

Shel, at al, Just to make sure I used the proper term - I want plasticity, not plastickyness... I can get plasticky very easily from any cheap lens :). I am not saying that I've outgrown Pentax gear, not by a long shot. I am saying, I may have outgrown some of the very Pentax gear that I own...

Boris' workflow (was Concerned)

Hi! It behooves Boris to define his workflow to some degree. Shel, I've no idea what "behooves" is, but I suspect I know what you're asking of me anyway. So here goes. I'll try to be as detailed as I can so prepare for rather long message. 1. I shoot RAW only. Color balance is almost always set

Re: Concerned

Hi! First of all - give an accomplished snapper a pinhole camera, and give a monkey an L lens. Which will deliver a better pic? The point is, there's slightly more to it than comparing results from two completely different workflows. Just because someone else's pics look different to your own means

Re: Concerned

Hi! Hum...? No one ever pays attention. I always do. Plasticity: A subtle quality of roundness, depth, and smoothness of a photographic image highly prised by artistic photographers. It is produced by subtle choice of uncorrected aberations by the lens designer. Pentax traditionally disigns lens

Re: Boris' workflow (was Concerned)

Hi! It sounds like you have a good grasp of the RAW conversion process. My main suggestion would be to use the Sharpness slider carefully. A setting between 75 and 100 is a lot of sharpening. Blow your image up to 100% or 200% when sharpening to see what it does to the edges and transition areas. I
