Yes you can do alot of really cool things in photoshop and other good photo editing program. You can do the procedure of layers with different opacities, image combinig with software nois reduction. The whole idea of BARTS technique is getting the same quality picture as all those image edit techniques with out the extra money, time and frustration. Plus when people say they can take 9 pictures and combine them, what kind of storage compacity and computer would you have to buy to process and store 117MB or more per scene you take. Barts technique works well you get about a 60% increase in the shadow area before noise becomes a factor. You can blur water with no extra filters or equipment to buy or carry. You do not need a computer, and if you have one the adjustments are minor. Pentax has given us many tools with the K10 that I can't find on any camera in it price range.
As far as how many shots; well what I have read and able to understand is to get approximately 3 stops of range in the shadows you need to take 9 shots. It averages all the shot from 2-9 against the 1 and removes things like noise patterns that are not in the fist image. I dont claim to know 100% how it works I just can see that it works.

The technique works great! You are able to bring the shadow detail way up and Noise is not a problem.
Still a work in progress now I am going to try some water fall scenes.
Are there any cameras out there that do auto ev like the kd with multi exposure?

I have the 200 2.8 and even with a 2x converter it is ok at that length and you'd better have some light. Pentax just needs to make a 600 f4 again or make the 250-600 again. I have seen the 250-600 recently and I wish that I could find one.

I Love the grip now, but hated it compared to BG-1 for the *istD. It grew on me and the bg-2 grip seem more stable than the one for the *istD. Also try mounting a 200 2.8 or a 400 or extension tube 2x multiplier with a DFA 100 macro and youll be glad you have the grip. It balances so much better. Just my two cents.

If you want to do the focus adjustment you need to do:
while holding play and ok turn on cmaera
then after firmware is shown
hit fn fn info menu with in 5sec.
then "Debug mode" to "EN" using the 4way press ok
then hit menu and goto setup and scroll down to "AF TEST"
press the right on the 4way
then press down to goto sec line and then left or right depending if front or back focusing.
when finish you have to turn camera off and start at the begining but change "EN" to "DIS
Do this at your own risk, but I hope that your problem gets solved

It is an ok lens but be prepared to stop it down abit. It can be soft at lower fstops at least 5.6 at 28mm.

I've got to say the 31 1.8 and the 85 1.4 are great. The 85 is great for one person full length if you have the room. I use the 31 for groups quite abit.
