Re: Finally, almost useable DNG codec from Adobe
You're welcome ;) Still, 3 years (or about) that DNG's there and Adobe still can't make a complete codec but third parties can (and not for free of course)... sometimes Adobe really are a bunch of morons :( 2011/8/19 Jos from Holland jos_from_holl...@onsnet.nu: Finally!

Re: Finally, almost useable DNG codec from Adobe
Looks like the current version has been there since May 3rd of this year.

Re: Finally, almost.
What exactly is the front focus problem? I performed the autofocus fine adjustment for the K-5 and all of my lenses. While some required minor adjustment, the K-5 came closer as-delivered than either my k20 or K-7. And those lenses that did require adjustment were pretty much split between front and rear focus tweaks. BTW, the two lenses that required the most adjustment were the FA 50/1.4 and the FA35/2. The DA* lenses were very close to dead-nuts right on. Paul On Feb 9, 2011, at 7:03 AM, Ralf R.

I'll have to test the K-5 autofocus under tungsten when I have time. I didn't seem to have a problem with focus in the pool hall, which was largely tungsten light, although I did have some misses. If it does behave differently under one kind of light, I would think that might be something that could be fixed with a firmware upgrade. Paul On Feb 9, 2011, at 7:48 AM, Ralf R.

RE: Finally, almost.
First it took me an hour and half to get home (normally if traffic is okay 20 to 30 minutes) and I slide a couple of times from all the snow we have gotten this afternoon and now I have a slight head ache. The reason I mention all that is I hope the following makes sense. My K-R, that is to arrive tomorrow afternoon, supposedly has the same issue under Tungsten Light. There is a filter that I came across on the internet I believe it was an 80a that causes Tungsten light to be more natural light so I wonder if that would help with the issues of the FF.

RE: Finally, almost.
Jim, I first will need to get use to the K-R as this will be my first true DSLR up until now I have been using the Fuji Finepix HS10. I was mentioning the filter in the hopes perhaps someone has tried it to see it by chance it helped.

Re: Finally, almost.
Right, and in 57 weeks K-1 will be out. And then they're gonna be out of numbers. So, methought, hurrying up while the numbers were still there was a good idea. Got a good price too.
