When my K-7 returned from the repair shop the other week the repair team had installed the latest firmware version. At first I was unhappy because it reset all my settings -- which took me about two hours to undo -- but also included a new mode I don't recall my camera having before -- reversal film. It's a setting on the color mode menu. So I gave it a shot and it's cut my editing time by 50%. The colors are deeper, the contrasts improved. In short, this is how I edit my images to be. So I'm pleased. Here are some color results. All shot with my Takumar 50mm 1:1.4 (the other lens given to me for scanning slides.)
Both of these were shot wide-open to test this lens' capabilities at f1.4 Not shabby.
A frog outside of Rainforest Cafe at Fisherman's Wharf. To me it looks like the frog is going to eat children as though they were large flies.
That fence is still locked up tightly.
A sculpture at Foundry Square.
That same sculpture only just its reflection.
A sculpture at MacArthur BART. Looks to me like a pregnant chick about to pop one out.
Few things are lonelier than an abandoned bike.
