Re: Pentax Life Article
Haven't seen any other responses Walter, so here's my opinion, FWIW! I tried the methods discussed, on an image taken in brilliant light with a good lens, so there wasn't much apparent need for significant sharpening. Initially, I was unhappy with the edge artefacts the first pass produced, but these were minimised with the second pass: overall the results were good. I then tried the same image with my usual sharpening technique (100-150%, radius 1, threshold 0) and got very similar results with just one pass. I noticed that someone recently noted sharpening of 60%, radius 5 and threshold 45(?) on an image, and I wonder what the accepted wisdom is on the list WRT USM? I'm always impressed with, amongst others, the sharpness and smoothness of Bruce Dayton's presentations, which I would love to be able to emulate (you can take a bow, Bruce!)

Re: Pentax Life Article
I haven't tried this particular method (but I'll definitely give it a whirl). I'm playing around with another two-pass sharpening method described by Bruce Fraser in "Real World Sharpening". It basically uses a USM routine on the image edges followed by a high pass sharpening. It has definite possibilities but it's far more complex than Benjamin Kanarek's method. I'm still trying to work out the optimum USM settings.

I'm not too sure of that. If Pentax were going to distribute photos I doubt they would have been taken through the display case at their Photokina stand.

I think it's overstating it a bit calling to call it a "valuable service", but for those without the inclination to read the PDML or follow the Pentax SLR forum at DPreview it does a good job of hitting the high points of the going rumors.

Re: Pentax Life
Boy - talk about clutching at straws! You might as well ask what would happen if Nikon made a K-mount body; I'd say that's more likely than a Samsung (designed for the masses without any Pentax history) with a mechanical aperture sensor. The Samsung bodies do, of course, have the *actuator*; without it you wouldn't be able to stop down any of the existing lenses (up to and including the DA lenses). If the DA* lenses were missing the aperture actuator then they wouldn't work on the *ist series (except at one aperture setting - wide open, I believe), which means they wouldn't work on the earlier Samsung bodies. I consider that somewhat unlikely.

Re: Pentax Life
I wonder what would happen with the Pentax/Samsung relationship if Sam decided to make a dslr with the actuator for older K lenses. Iknow I would seriously consider a Samsung if it had full compatibility with older K lenses.

Re: Pentax Life
The image posted there (http://pentaxlife.com/files/2006/10/samsung-star-lenses.jpg) made me think about something: The lenses shown on that picture seem to stay verticaly very nicely (without rear cap). Is that a sign indicating no mechanical coupler anymore? Maybe it is just hidden (hole in the plastic) or the lenses aren't finished or simply, Samsung do not care for their market so scrapped it ? -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille -- *ist-D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: Pentax Life
It's done by a guy on the DPReview.com Pentax SLR forum. Don't know much else. Godfrey On Oct 3, 2006, at 11:56 AM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: > Who or what entity publishes this: http://pentaxlife.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
