I'm not an expert but when I looked at "One that was not" my first thought was camera shake. I would have thought that a focal length of 87mm @ 1/125 second would have been ok but it looks shaky to me. Oddly the "One that was improved by editing" has no camera shake even at a fl of 225mm @ 1/125 s, which is where I would expect shake to start to come into play. So clearly you can hold it steady. And then when I saw the Fuji shot my first thought was "Hey, come on, you're not being fair at all" :-) The Pentax shots were indoors in dull dim light, the Fuji outside in bright sunlight; of course the Fuji shot will pop more. That's in addition to what people have said about pro lens vs consumer, and short lens vs long etc. But that's just my guesses. -- Eric -- 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.
