Referring to the bottom photo, the one taken with DA70 Limited:
If the photo had been just of the buildings, with the lovely golden glow, it would already have been a beautiful picture;
but with the addition of the Milky Way (I presume that’s what it is…?) in the sky behind,
that makes the shot really special and incredible! Well done!!👍

Love the colour of this picture, and the mood that it brings.
Was that how it looked to the eye, or did you process the colour?

Woww....!
Superb picture.
Love the composition, the dynamics, the colour.

Really like the processing you did to the third image (inside the metal workshop). May I ask what you did?

Excellent detail, and I particularly like the bokeh.

Excellent shot! I was commenting to my wife that part of the reason why squirrel shots look good is that squirrels seem to be capable of many interesting "expressions".
She flatly replied that the K-1 is very good - it makes you a pro! ;)

Beautiful capture!

Really love the A20 pictures you've been posting - particularly impressed with the rendering and colour, which look really special to me.
Was the colour post-processed in this shot?

Hey, no worries, mate!
Was just concerned lest the thread be run off-topic subsequently. Cheers.

For those unaware, I had previously acknowledged the error, and thanked those who spotted it (Post #1004).
And once again, thanks to all those who have taken the trouble to type detailed explanations to correct my error. My apologies to anyone who has been misguided by it.

Hi guys,
Thanks to all who responded, and for correcting my error. But, as a few have already mentioned, this could end up running this thread off-topic, so best to stop it here. It is after all a picture-posting thread.
Cheers.

Imagine you are standing in front of a very wide palace, at a distance of 120 feet, and there is a row of flags in front of the palace, from the left end to the right end.
Without moving from your spot, say you want to capture a photo of the palace, and have each flag in the picture. Say you use an 85mm lens, and you're using a film camera.
Now you step up closer to the palace by 100ft, so you're now only 20ft away from the palace. To get every flag in again, you probably need an 20mm lens now.
Now compare the photos taken. They both include all the flags, from left to right. But they look very different. In order for the 20mm lens to squeeze in every flag, at such a close distance to the palace, it would have to distort the perspective. Diverging lines for example, would diverge very dramatically, more so than in real life.
So the 20mm lens, a wideangle, as compared to 85mm, introduces a visible form of distortion (which can actually look very nice when used right).
The key point here is that a wideangle lens, by its very design, introduces perspective distortion to an image that it casts.
Now, consider using an FA31 to snap a given scene, with a given FOV. Assume you're using an APS-C sensor now, eg. with a K-3. In fact, the image being captured (and also what is seen in the viewfinder) is just a crop, a portion, of the real, larger image being cast by the lens. Hence we're only seeing a part of the real picture; the effect is the same as cropping away the edges of a picture, and then magnifying the remaining portion until it comes back to the original size of the image before being cropped. In other words, there is magnification going on, of the middle uncropped portion of the picture. Or to put it another way, in APS-C, the FOV has been narrowed. That is, the FOV feels the same as if we were using an FA43 on a Full-frame sensor (here the entire image cast by the lens is captured/seen - no cropping).
So the FOV appears the same, but remember that the image cast by the 31, it being a wideangle lens, would inherently have that distortion effect (although milder than that seen in a 20mm).
Whereas an FA43, being a true-normal, does not generate this distortion effect.
Bottom line, the FOV appears the same, but the FA31 image has that perspective distortion effect in it.

Could possibly be due to:
1. The K-1 has slightly different colour signature. I find it rather closer to the K-7, and different than K-3.
One example is the blue, which I find is rich and vibrant. The Pentax special K-1 site actually did mention that their engineers put in special care in the color output of the K-1, and they talked about blue, among other things if I recall. Don't know if they meant for ooc jpegs, or in the sensor response, or whatever.
2. For a given FOV, the pictures are (generally) being shot using a longer focal-length now than previously. Example, if on APS-C an FA31 was being used, on Full-frame an FA43 is now being used. The 31, being a wideangle focal length, would introduce some perspective distortion, which is natural. So although the FOV is the same, the shot from the 31 would, for example, slightly exaggerate converging/diverging lines, whereas the 43 would give the same FOV, but without any perspective exaggeration. This difference is perceivable in a shot.
3. Maybe a higher percentage of shots are being captured using older A, M lenses etc.? These old glass definitely have their own rendering character.

Am really loving that FA43 colour and rendering on the K-1.
