Re: Wow. Just wow. And WOW again!
Mine arrived at my doorstep yesterday, ordered about a week ago. It was printed her in the Netherlands :-) No discount to be found that actually worked, but it is certainly worth the price!

I noticed that most contributors have multiple images spread over the book now, great!

Exceedingly well done, everyone, and especially the editorial trio, and especially especially Mark! Thanks, Rick. For some reason, the graphic design and layout of the book was a real agonizing process this year, but came together well when I finally got it worked out. One of the things that really disappoints me about ebooks is the way they don't convey the typography and page layout that constitute a well-designed page. So it's good to know when the design gets noticed in the print version. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.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.

Everyone who said it's a huge improvement over the K-7: you were right. It's funny. No matter how many times you hear about how quiet it is, the first time you shoot one it's practically guaranteed to smack your gob. I've shot over 50,000 frames on mine, and it's still surprising me by how much harder I can push it and still get completely usable results. Yes, some of my photos from last weekend look a bit rough, but they were shot at ISO 16,000 and 1/10 second and are sharper, and cleaner, than what I was getting with the K100 at ISO 1,600 and 1/20 Sec. Sometimes I think that I need to completely relearn how to expose and process photos with the K-5. It has so much dynamic range, I'm almost better exposing to preserve highlights that one would expect to be completely out of range, and then pull usable details out of what at first looks like completely black shadow.
