Hello.
I just got my new K200D today. Didn't have much time to play with it
yet, but I thought I'd share a quick shot. Maybe it is of interest to
someone. ISO 1600 at f/22 with a 40 mm DA limited (pancake).

I actually like the focus point slightly in the background and a bit

Hello.
I have recently bought a new K200D. I did photograph a lot until about
15 years ago, but have only used p+s cameras since then. So I figured
the K200D would be more than sufficient to get back into photography.
I am actually very satisfied with the camera.
But the bundled 18-55mm/3.

Thanks, Godfrey.
I was thinking along the same lines. I am really satisfied with the
images the DA 40 produces, and if the DA 21 comes close, I'd rather
save the extra cash on the DA* 16-50, since I already have the DA 40.

Ah, yes, beautiful. I just came back from a week of sailing on the
Ijsselmeer and Waddenzee and I can still smell the crazy weather. I
brought the new DA* 50-135mm and took some first pictures with it. All
with a K200D.

This may be slightly off-topic. But maybe someone here can help.
Something I don't get at all is all that color space thing. I read a
little about it and decided to just go with the Lightroom default of
ProPhoto RGB, but I am now running into problems.
The symptoms:
sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPh

Just out of curiosity, is there some standard way to test this? I have
not seen any focusing issues with my camera and lenses (because so
many pictures are out of focus, which is of course user error), but I
was wondering if there is a way to find out.
Thanks.

I am using a K200D, but as I understand it, the anti shake technology
is basically the same as in the K20D. I have managed to get sharp
pictures handheld at one second at night. I takes a little practise

One of the reasons I like the new 50-135mm so much is its oh so pretty

maybe if you pointed us to some of the "great pics of him on line that
