Re: K10, K20, K7, and low light Konfusion
Rick, I used both K10D and K20D for over a year. one thing that really peeved me is that the K20 is marketed as an evolutionary upgrade to K10. That's very, very far from the truth. Especially when it comes to dealing with the images in post processing. The K10D is a CCD based camera, with an oversized A/D converter to sift out as much dynamic range as possible. The noise characteristic of this camera is very grain-like and reminiscent of film. Much in contrast with the CMOS-based K20D with its more reticular, gritty looking noise characteristics. I came to appreciate the K20D anyway, though, because its noise is easier to reduce in post processing than is K10D noise. I use NoiseNinja as plugin to Photoshop, btw, and for the record I think the DxO tests are measurbating BS. :-) The K-7 has essentially the same sensor as has the K20D. However the image quality is improved over K20D. Not much, but the devil is as usual in the details. Literally. :-) On my trip to Antarctica, I got the opportunity to compare my own files to raw files from various Canon cameras, and what struck me most was the amount of detail preserved in the K-7 raw files. The noise reduction with Canon is a lot more brutal, clipping quite a lot of detail in the shadows. It's a matter of taste whether the Canon look is plastic or clean, but I know for myself that I much prefer to have the detail recorded, and tweak the noise vs. detail ratio myself. Besides, the post-processing noise reduction software has a lot more data power to draw from than the in-camera processing, and I suspect the algorithms are more sophisticated as well. In comparison with K20D, I believe the K-7 is better at discerning between shadow detail and noise. No idea if the lab tests take this into account, but I find the K-7 raw files (I shoot DNG, btw) very pleasing to work with. I also think the K-7 is an improvement in exposure accuracy over K20D. I tend to get histograms leaning more to the right with K-7. Where I would lift the shadows in a K20D shot, I end up reducing the highlights with K-7. Yet I rarely get burned highlights, so the overall effect is one of less noise all together. So in short, don't get hung up on those tests. The K-7 is one heck of a performer, and the best tool out there for your K-mount glass. You'll need a few hundred shots to get used to the new sensor, but trust me that you won't look back afterwards. It's a significant step up from the K10D's strategy of masking noise as grain. Jostein 2010/1/3 Rick Womer rwomer1...@yahoo.com: Right now, I am not planning to replace my K10D with a K7, because the latter does not seem to have significantly better low-light performance. By reputation, the K20 is about 1 1/2 stops better than the K10 in low light, and the K7 is about a half-stop worse than the K20 (thus a stop better than the K10). That seemed simple, until I began looking into low-light performance test results. The noise testing on dpreview used only jpgs until their review of the K7, which compared RAW noise in the K7 and K20. For chroma noise, a score of 10 (y-axis) corresponds to an ISO of about 2800 for the K20, and about 2000 for the K7; this agrees with others' observations that the K20's low-light performance is about a half-stop better. When one goes to dxomark.com, things get confusing. Even though the low-light performance of the K20 is reputed to be about 1 1/2 stops better than the K10, the low light ISOs are 639 and 522, which is only about a 1/3 stop difference; and the overall scores (blending low-light ISO, dynamic range, and color depth) are almost identical. The K7 sensor has a lower overall score than the K10 by 5 points, having 1 stop less dynamic range and almost the same low light ISO. Which leads me to think that the K10 and K7 sensors' low light performance is almost the same, and only slightly worse thana the K20's. So where does the K20's reputedly better performance come from? Firmware? Comments or explanations? Cheers, Rick P.S. I am very intrigued by the dpreview results on the Kx sensor, which (in RAW) has a chroma noise score of 10 at an ISO of 6400. No dxomark testing yet. If a similar sensor found its way into a K7-like body, they'd have a sale. http://photo.net/photos/RickW -- 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. -- http://www.alunfoto.no/galleri/ http://alunfoto.blogspot.com -- 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.

PESO: long-legged fly
http://www.pbase.com/kiwibiologist/image/120808718 I have been taking fly photos lately for an upcoming web project on New Zealand flies. This one is from the backyard and features a h long-legged fly (family Dolichopodidae). These are agile predators and are very fast. Gave up using pTTL flash since the pre-flash elicted an escape response and everytime the actual exposure would record an empty space where the fly was - does anyone know what the interval is between flashes? The wind which has blown unabated for the last week or so made this even trickier and getting something in focus was a real challenge - finally managed something reasonable with this one.

I'm thinking about the K-X, and since I have both the K100D and the K200D, it's the 200D that I'd sell to begin this upgrade path. LN- condition, only 650 exposures or so. Images available upon request; also, I can sell body only, or with the 18-55 II lens, or one of two versions of the Pentax 28-105 film era zoom -- the Tokina rebadge or the later f/3.2 model, both in all black. $375 for body only, or $425 with one of the zooms.

From: Rob Studdert On 04/01/2010, John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com wrote: Should I use Assign or Convert? Should I assign/convert to SRGB before or after editing my images? Assign just tags the pre-existing file with the alternate colour space tag, convert converts the file to the new colour space. Assign would generally only be used in the case that the file somehow has inherited the incorrect colour space or alternately to impose an incorrect colour space for effect. I follow you part of the way. I understand what you're telling me they do. For the last book, IIRC, both images were put into the SRGB color space when the JPEGS were generated. One worked and one didn't. I don't remember whether I assigned or converted one or both. I worked them sequentially, completing one and sending it, then completed the other. The copy I have here is SRGB (exif:ColorSpace: 1). When I print the image through a competently controlled mini-lab it matches what I see on the screen with no further manipulation required. For my purpose, I want to ensure the image printed in the book looks like what I think the image should look like when I see it on my screen (and yes, the screen is calibrated). Which choice, assign or convert is going to give me what I want? Or does it matter?

Re: long-legged fly
Very nice capture. I'd clone out the green thingy if it were mine, its a little distracting.

This one is from the backyard and features a h long-legged fly (family Dolichopodidae). These are agile predators and are very fast. Gave up using pTTL flash since the pre-flash elicted an escape response and everytime the actual exposure would record an empty space where the fly was - does anyone know what the interval is between flashes? The wind which has blown unabated for the last week or so made this even trickier and getting something in focus was a real challenge - finally managed something reasonable with this one.

Re: SRGB - profiles for the book
On 05/01/2010, John Sessoms jsessoms...@nc.rr.com wrote: I follow you part of the way. I understand what you're telling me they do. For the last book, IIRC, both images were put into the SRGB color space when the JPEGS were generated. One worked and one didn't. I don't remember whether I assigned or converted one or both. I worked them sequentially, completing one and sending it, then completed the other. The copy I have here is SRGB (exif:ColorSpace: 1). When I print the image through a competently controlled mini-lab it matches what I see on the screen with no further manipulation required. For my purpose, I want to ensure the image printed in the book looks like what I think the image should look like when I see it on my screen (and yes, the screen is calibrated). Which choice, assign or convert is going to give me what I want? Or does it matter? And does it matter at what point in the work-flow I put the image into SRGB color space? In the case of your work flow the source images are of limited colour gamut (AdobeRGB) but you employ a wide gamut colour space as your working colour space so you need to be sure to convert your images back to the requisite output colour space. Generally you would do this as one of the last steps in your edit work-flow, possibly only preceding image bit depth reduction. In the case of images with a reduced gamut the Relative Colorimetric rendering intent should provide a good quality output to sRGB, however if you imported RAW images in ProPhoto colour space the Perceptual rendering intent would likely provide better results when converting images containing a wide colour gamut to sRGB colour space.

GFM NPW 2010 - head count
Bit early but anyone got plans to attend from far and wide this year? I'm finally putting together some [video] material from last year in anticipation of attacking the networks for a commission. Just be interesting to see how far people might be traveling from. I had to laugh. I was explaining to a journalist mate about the PDML and its spiritual home, and how mesmerized acolytes flock from across the globe to be at this pinnacle of a photographic peak - literally and metaphorically speaking - and he said it sounded like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. This resulted in a sudden vision of dozens of PDMLers clawing away at mashed potatoes with forks to produce 8-foot high cormorants. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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.

RE: GESO NSW PDML
From: Rob Studdert Hi Team, As most know Christian is out in Oz and has a few days in Sydney so he decided to brave a meet with Brian, Anthony and I. Weather was OK, a bit grey and threatening in the morning but fined up later in the day making for a pleasant day to be out. http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/SydneyPDML2010?authkey=Gv1sRgCPamu 63HsdnI6AE# Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) It's good to see more PDML faces - and some interesting photos too.
