Hi Pentaxian friends,

This is the second post of my photo essay this past weekend with the K-7 and the 18-55mm and 50-200mm kit lenses. I used a tripod for most images. I think the images aren't that bad, considering the use of Pentax cheapest lenses. Please let me know what you think. I'm seriously wondering if the lenses costing three to four time as much are necessary.

Good for you Kym. I know you will love this camera. If I remember, you like big cameras. Although the K-7 is smaller, get the grip and it will feel just as good and steady as the K20D.

hmm is it just me or most of the samples are overexposed? especially the first one that start the series, awfully dark.

Kaziutek,

They are all a little (Underexposed) darker by choice. I found that it prints better that way and the colors are more saturated. Click on the images for larger size and they don't look that dark. Also, underexposed are easier to fix in photodhop as you can never recuperate washed out area but you can bring back shadows in the dark areas.

But if you think they are too dark, then they are too dark for you. It's all in the way one's like their pictures.

Thank you for your comments. They are appreciated.

Kaziutek,

I will repost them tonight with adjustments in photoshop to fix the slight underexposure and see if they look better for displaying on the internet.

C'est super, je crois que les "kit lensens" font vraiment la job . D'ailleurs, le 18-55 est l'un de meilleurs "kit lenses" toutes les marques confondues . J'aime vraiment bien la dernière image .

Merci Cesar.

Puisque le K-7 corrige certaine lentilles, je crois qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'acheter les lentilles les plus dispendieuses.

Tu es Canadien Français ou Français de France ?

Cher Yvon,

Moi j'ai trouve que les objectifs 'kit' de Pentax sont de haute qualite.

There is no need to go buy extra unless it is for fun.

Grab an 'M' series 100mm 2.8 for some serious telephoto shots, though. Le mien est fantastique.

Quelques mots d'un australien de l'autre bout du monde: La Tasmanie. Amateur de Pentax depuis bien longtemps.

The older ones look much better on my monitors. The tones on these look flat.

Bonjour Yvon,

Je suis Colombien et un peu Canadien Francais .
C'est vrai, il y aurait pas besoin de lentilles onéreuses. Mes objectifs préférés sont les Pentax SMC-DA 40mm F2.8 Limited, Pentax SMC-M 50mm f/1.7 et Pentax SMC-DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL .
La couleur qui donne le M 50mm f/1.7 est vraiment incroyable .
D’ailleurs, je crois que les Pentaxistes aimons bien les anciennes lentilles et leur compatibilité avec les boitiers K.

Meilleures salutations,

C.E.
