I agree.

There was no vote and no opinions asked for but I offer one anyway. The endless complaining about how for example Pentax, the K-01 and no FF sucks is far more annoying then anything on P&R. ;)

I'd say it's unlikely to affect the image, it should affect the price though! ;)

If it's rare or cheap I'd risk it, if it's common and normally cheap I'd pass.

Anvh if Pentax wasn't such a bunch of lamers they would give us that for ~$750.00 ;) ... and many would bitch like hell. :lol:

With very few exceptions here is what I have observed;
The drama queens who make the most noise about how bad Pentax is never post images. I guess they are trophy boys not photographers.

One from last summer, we had wild weather and exceptionally skies. A deserted beach after a hard rain, someone had made male and female effigies in the sand. A single set of tracks walk toward the light, I should have shot more images. This is from -2 -1 0 +1 +2.

Nice Design Comeback by Pentax
Posted By riff

I wrote

not "This is not a design comeback"
Do you see a difference here, the first is a statement of opinion the second is a statement of fact.

In fact if you had not included "comeback" in the thread title I doubt I would have posted here.

You do this kind of thing often for example

The fact that you don't like it does not make it a mistake!
I doubt Pentax thinks there are mistakes in the design. Do you suppose they sit around HQ and say well this is a turd camera with known mistakes but perhaps some fool will buy it, lets roll the dice and see what happens.

Had you said for example, "Perhaps the K-01 may have appealed to more people if it was designed differently. I like many aspects about the K-01 but also hate a few." I'd have no problem with that statement. Again your not liking it does not make it a mistake.


Common sense? :p

Possibly its not your ideas so much as the way you frame them that I have a problem with. Anyway take it as you will. I believe you could be a much more effective communicator then you currently are and I expect the same could be said for me. :hmm:

No this is very welcome here! Like it or not (I like it) it is excellent processing. Forum member @Trig has posted many fine examples of extreme HDR mostly in the SIgma 10-20 and 8-16 threads in case anyone missed them. Hopefully he will stop by sometime.

I hope that this thread has some discussion and explanation of HDR techniques as well. Thanks for posting. :D
