Dark Red Rose by K1

Hey, Happy K1 Owners,
Just curious to see your shot of the object described above - Dark red rose.

The one below was taken with K20D; no PP, just a little bit sharpness.

Can K1 do a better job with red?

Thank you!

OMG!! What an awesome photograph. I think I may have just fallen in love with the k-20.
Thanks so much for sharing.

I'll let you know when my roses start blooming in another month or so...

You could give me a medium format camera and I might not be able to take a "better" picture. Camera is a tool, it's the one behind the camera who takes the photo

You're just trying to get someone to give you a 645z!

But I agree, people tend to think the camera is some sort of magical creature that will do all the work for them. It really is just a tool, but a slightly better tool than we have had affordable before...

I think the subtle colors and tonal range are a consequence of your soft indirect lighting as much as your skills with the K20D.

All things being equal the K1 would offer the same but with higher resolution and less noise in my view.

That's actually a very interesting post. Red channels are often problematic for DSLRs, of any brand. Red flowers can be worst case scenario, so this is a decent test. I'd like to see some photos of red objects in various light settings with K-1

Here's a rose taken with my K10D and M 50mm f1.7. No PP except resizing and a tiny bit of sharpening. Oh, and reduced gamma a bit.

I have noticed that the K-1 does a beautiful job with reds. The colors are so rich and don't have that tendency to blow out! I am anxious to see how it handles yellows, as that is another color I feel dslr's struggle with at times.

Hi Folks,
Thank you all for the comments and thoughts, but....where are the roses out of K1?...Those who faced with such dilemma (managing red and all the shades of red) would understand the reason of such request.
For those who is new, try to take a shot of a Dark Red Rose.

Hopefully somebody of the K1 owners will spend some time to take a shot.

Thank you
Vasyl

Any sample images with red out of K1 or link would be useful.

Well I wouldn't say no to a 645Z...but I'll settle for someone giving me a Full Frame. To you know test to make sure it will let me take better pictures.
