PESO -- Hammonassett Log

[P. J. Alling]

Nothing special.  I just saw this and thought it looked interesting.

Equipment:  Pentax *ist-Ds/smc Pentax FA 28-70mm f4.0.

Notes:
Just in case anyone has actually read this far, this is the first image 
I converted from raw using "Raw Therapee".  I've been looking for a Raw 
Converter to replace RSE, (I was going to buy RSP before Adobe bought 
it), when I get the K10d, eventually.  One that will put off my upgrade 
to an even more intrusive and annoying version of windows.  I must say 
I've very impressed with it's capabilities.  I made a couple of 
conversions with RSE and was not able to get nearly the shadow detail 
that Raw Therapee produced.  This may be the one, and has support for 
the K10d.it runs on Win2K which is a very good thing..  As with all new 
things the interface will take some getting used to.

I was able to pick up a reasonably priced FA 28-70.  It seems to have 
been refurbished by Pentax and shows no evidence of the real asphearic 
element problems as yet.  A number of people have said they were 
disappointed with this lens on a digital body, but it may be that their 
copies of this lens were in the initial stages of that element breaking 
down.  This image is as good as I've come to expect from any lens I've 
used on the *ist-D or Ds.
