asked: Are you shooting raw? I have both a K10D and an *ist DS. I want to ask the same question that Rob B. If you are than there isn't much you can do but adjust your exposures, if you aren't, you will get better results with RAW and use of the histogram. Oh, and I second the "are you shooting RAW" statement. True? I don't know, they seem to be a dying breed of holdouts each year. But for a long time, and still today, many wedding photographers claim to prefer film for it's highlight details. Personally, I haven't noticed any major difference in slide film and digital, but I should note that while I have used the DSLR extensively outdoors in rather neutral lighting, this is the first winter it is seeing snow, and the dynamic ranges associated with near pure white (especially fresh mountain snow). ![]() 2 stops over mid tone for digital highlights seems right. Typically digital can pull more detail from the shadows than from blown out highlights. Best best is to watch your histogram (including the individual channels RGB) and make sure nothing is clipped. Sensors DSLR manufacturers concentrated on dynamic range, which would increaseĭigital never was promoted as having a high dynamic range. I really wish that instead of adding more pixels to the Manufacturers have it as well, but it seems that Pentax DSLRs exhibit this IĪlso think that this issue is not limited to Pentax. I see on this site exhibit the dynamic range problems I am talking about. I know this is a relatively inexpensive DSLR,īut are the later offerings from Pentax any better? Some of the sample pictures Compared to negative film the same shots with the Also, the dynamic range resolution is accordingly bad, which makes There is always some saturation or not enough details in the By my estimation the camera onlyĪffords about 4 stops of dynamic range. ![]() I have a 50mmį/1.7 and 28mm f/2.8 and they are both fantastic lenses. I especially enjoy using old manual focus Pentax lenses on it. I have owned one of the first Pentax DSLRs (*istD S)įor almost three years now and I really like it in terms of feel and usability.
