The studio market aren't concerned with write speeds and will put up with sensors that need multiple pops or long exposures (like scanning backs). They're okay with being chained to a computer. So the 22MP is probably no good for running around cameras. -Aaron -Original Message-

I purchased my FA* 85mm F1.4 lens new in 1999-2000 time frame. It's been used sparingly and is in essentially new condition--no marks at all on the glass, no marks on the lens barrel, and just a little bag wear on the hood. The lens comes with hood, front and rear caps, and original box.

I shoot with that lens quite often, but only in RAW mode. Of course in-camera settings have no effect on RAW images. In conversion, I find that the default ACR 2.4 contrast setting is just about right for good exposures of most subject matter. When converting full-frame images to 144 meg files,

While doubling the percentage increases the amount of overall sharpening, raising the threshold level reduces the way it's applied -- as nearly as I can tell through simple examination of the results. So your Nikon vs. Pentax USM settings may not be as disparate as you believe. I do remember
