I honestly don't know. I have the DA* 16-50 and the DA* 50-135, FA 31, 43 and 77 Ltds. I also have the 18-135 kit lens (which is damn good for a kit lens). I guess the only thing I am really...

It's not a problem.. people are entitled to be excited... but making a decision to buy before you see what the camera is capable of producing is blind faith... and that is just not a wise way to...

Enjoy the dance. :)

I understand and agree with you.  Now let's see if the camera actually performs as these leaks suggest ..... then and only then will I reach for my wallet.

Don't misunderstand me.. I welcome new models with better features and capabilities.  The K5 IIs is the camera I dumped my Canon 5D MKII for... it offered more features than the Canon.. with one...

There are no reviews at this time.. just speculation, leaked photos and specs... and that should be of no use to you in making an informed decision on a purchase. When the camera is released and...

Never said I was not interested in the camera.  Some of the features (video) are of no use to me whatsoever.  I am not one for speculation as it really serves no purpose and often clouds the...

Yeah... I know.

While everyone ooohs and aaaahs over the leaked K3 pictures and specs.. I am waiting to see the most important thing... photos taken with the K3.   I've read every post I can find regarding this...

Taken with the K5 IIs and the DA* 16-50mm Fort Griffin was a Cavalry fort established in the late 1860s in the northern part of West Texas, specifically northwestern Shackelford County, to give...

Adobe and its shareholders made themselves a target for this. Is anyone really surprised?

Very good tutorial and much more depth than what I did.  I assumed the OP was looking for an easy way to add a little pop to his photo.   Like any destination, there are numerous routes you can...

Ok, the first thing I did was get rid of the reddish/brown tone of the sky by using the Replace Color tool in Photoshop CS6. Next, I used a curves adjustment layer to punch up the highlights and...

May I have your permission to do a retouch on this and I will post and explain what I did?

I only shoot RAW.. and yes, I tried Topaz on these.. and did use a bit of detail recovery. Agree... Lightroom is a bit to aggressive in the way it reduces noise..overly smooth if not smeared...

@Raiste3d... when was the last time the Postal Service made money?

Silly lawsuit. Every tourist that photographs that sculpture is also violating his copyright.. might as well sue them as well. Seriously, he's just greedy and looking for easy money.

Thanks, Russ.  This is all new to me so I am pleased with what I have been able to do so far with the limited gear and knowledge I possess.  I am interested in photos that contain an interesting...

I appreciate those who took the time to give advice and suggestions.  Thank you all. Since my interest does not lay in photographing distant stars, nebula and planets but rather the starry sky with...

I thought of that but then the issue becomes the foreground being blurred.  I've been so close to guying that unit in the last month but want to explore all options first.  Pentax doesn't seem to...
