That is a terrific image, Tim, and I'm glad you did this little experiment. It is hard to simulate what you are seeing with a picture of a picture presented at monitor resolution (of course) but the fact that YOU are pleased with it tells me all I need to know.
I think that sometimes we forget that the larger an image is, the greater the distance away that it is to be viewed/appreciated. Yes, I imagine if you step up and put your face 18" away from a 30x40" print you will be able to tell a (big) difference between a small-sensor-produced image (particularly one produced by a backlit Sony Exmor sensor) and your K-5/K-7/K-x etc. but from a "proper" viewing distance maybe not so much. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
