Most of my experience with red roses is that the color seems to be especially difficult for the camera to process. (This could just be a deficiency in my own skill, I guess)
The color seems to almost bleed a bit, especially compared to the leaves.
thank you for posting...so the issue is the same...red is tough, even for the K1.

Thank you for the picture. it was heavily PPed, it is too far from its original look, I assume, I might be wrong. But even after PPing magenta kills beauty of the colors made by mother nature.
This thread is a tricky one, red is tough.

Originally posted by Winder I did some test shots with reds when I first got the camera, but those were trashed a long time ago. I will setup and shoot some dark red roses soon. The image you post looks a little under exposed which definitely helps keep the red channel from blowing out and bleeding to magenta. The K-1 handles reds better than any other Pentax camera I have had (K-7, K-5, K-3). One of my biggest complaints with my K-3 was that red lipstick would bleed to magenta with just a little over exposure.
That is correct. I faced with this issue a while ago and was wondering if Pentax was able to fix this in the K1. It looks like that the issue is still there. You are right, red does not like a lot of light and contrast and requires special attention and technique the same as in the other Pentax's model.
