Originally posted by slow2focus you know, I have seen your posts with pics with different manual lenses and what not, your color and especially focus is to me always spot on. I know from your other posts that you rely on the red mark in the VF to light up. But with k-x not having that, how are you getting such success? You must post your methods and processing!! Well, you don't have to. But, I am begging.
Thanks.
first you are too kind... second. you all only see the good ones!!! And that is an important fact!
But with these shots I was playing with Live view focus on the Kx... when you click LV you see the scene on the LCD, but as you click the info button the LV is magnified/zoomed in on the subject so you can make some critical focus adjustments. I zoomed in on the eyelashes on that last IS0 3200 shot and it really helped nail it.
I did LV focus on the K20 for longer shots but the KX live view is hands down clearer when zoomed in.
Having said all that, with the old mf lenses your were limited to center point AF on the K100/K20 anyway so not having the red dot is not entirely problematic, as the Kx still has the green hex and clunk sound when you hit focus.
Here are some with the Nikkor 105 that I shot in the backyard;
I love what the nikkor does to the OOF area
