Hm...quirks of the new camera.  Low light wasn't supposed to be it's strong suit to begin with.  The higher resolution compensates for most of the weakness, but there are a few quirks that show through to a trained eye.  Of a split mind at the moment whether to sell Bertha or not and just use this one at present.

That term wouldn't adequately explain the structure of Hydra very well, but is somehow accurate at the same time.

Well, getting an upgrade in the camera after all.  The Pentax wierdos have their own little classified section and someone posted up a camera permanently modified for ye olde manual lenses like I was about to do to my ist for only $50 more than I can get the parts for the ist.  It just happens to be 3 generations newer than my K100 at the same time and double the resolution.  Might just sell off Bertha if the thing proves adequate in low light.  Wouldn't sell the ist, too many issues with it. 

Funny thing (keep in mind these are mostly birding, landscaping and macro photography buffs) I had to join the forums and make a couple posts before I could buy the thing.  You can tell the young guys from the old ones. 

Young guys are baffled at the quality of my Halloween night shots.  My camera is supposed to be "crappy" at low light because of the noise at high ISO.  Man, the digital age has made some lazy photographers...Photography class these days is more about how to photoshop what you got into something good than how to take something good in the first place.

     

Well, I sold off a bunch of old cameras I'd collected over the years while buying old lenses, and was able to purchase a new macro lens as well.  Given that it's mid winter and there's not a lot of bugs outside (and I'd probably be in trouble if I went digging to rear some inside), and the fact in some small way it might be a slight boon to him, I went down to my brother's store to play with the new equipment. 

I can see the new lens quickly becoming my go-to for most everything, really.  While it's technically a macro, it works fabulously in a wide range of applications. 

From true macro



To general use. 






Left them with a bunch of shots they could use as stock photos to jazz up their website or facebook.  Whether they use them or not is not my problem.  Tried to teach my niece a thing or two about photography whilst at it. 




The new camera...oh how much EASIER it is to use!  Image quality really isn't that big of an upgrade, but boy is it much nicer to shoot with.  Metering is swift and efficient, retrofitted to accept the old lenses.  There are quirks, yes, but the EASE has sold me totally, going to depart with Bertha.

Don't know either, but somehow it let them open again.  See it with a lot of companies, really.
