I have it now. I need the CA tool. All my lenses exhibit CA, the 50-250, the 12-24, 16-45. even the 50-135 f2.8, a very good sharp lens. I tried removing manually, say along the roof of building and it always left behind unwanted colours or bands of blue sky or other artifacts. But Lightroom looks very good. And, if I can't get it all I will have to do manually in Lightroom and then export or finish.

Thanks for the info, as I was hesitating on buying the K1. If they made Zeis manual lenses for the K1, I would not hesitate to buy those. Not enough buyers to justify making them. Sure miss DOF markings on the manual lenses.

Yeah, I'm hoping the momentum of the K-1's success will bring some lens makers that have left back to K mount. Maybe the latest version without the physical aperture lever will make it easier to adapt some 3rd party lenses.
I really like using a Summicron-R 50/2 I adapted to K (you have to change the mount due to a tight registration distance) but it also suffers from CA in the situations one would expect. Fortunately it's not hard to correct.

Hey Olivier fine image. Love the minimalist quality and the medium soft shadows.

I like the minimalist look. The toning is a little heavier than suits my taste, though; and there's what looks like a dust spot on your sensor, above and to the left of the second tree from the left. Easily fixed.

Might it be better balanced with a little less space on the right? I'm not sure.

I really like it! I could do without the toning but the essence it's there.

live oak

drmike · « **Reply #2050 on:** February 16, 2017, 03:32:21 pm »

Can I ask if it's a particularly US thing to refer to 'live oak' or is just my ignorance that I am unfamiliar with the term in the UK? I'd expect an oak to be 'live' and rather say it's dead if that was the case. No criticism just curiosity.

I came across, while going through a nomenclature or industrial products, the term "non-folding chairs." One would assume that a "natural" state of a chair is non-folding, and if it is, than "folding chairs" would be more appropriate. Alas...

P.S. The relevance of my blabbering above to this thread is that chairs are made of trees (usually)

drmike · « **Reply #2052 on:** February 16, 2017, 03:47:41 pm »

I assume those chairs were also non rotating, non rise and fall - well the list would go on and on.

That said I have come across live oak before in novels set in the Deep South I think.

From Wikipedia: "Live oak or evergreen oak is a general term for a number of unrelated oaks in several different sections of the genus Quercus that share the characteristic of evergreen foliage."

In the U.S. they occur mainly in southern coastal regions. Some varieties seem to be common in California, but certainly not in New England.

Thank you. I suppose I should have googled it but now I know

Patricia Sheley · « **Reply #2055 on:** February 16, 2017, 04:23:12 pm »

Not native to New England but of great importance to Colonial New England as commerce and fishing were carried on by sea, and this strong, clean and straight growing evergreen was essential to shipbuilding. The hurricanes in the south that so devastated the live oaks was a blessing in disguise for the restoration trade. Moves were quickly made to purchase and store the falls for many marine museums and tall ship works. Not many were willing to cut these magnificent trees for restoration, but once downed they were golden for new life. Live oaks, living history~

Thank you again. I am pleased to say I live and learn

Eric Myrvaagnes · « **Reply #2057 on:** February 16, 2017, 05:32:03 pm »

Next time I'm tempted to Google, I'll just ask Patricia instead.

Very nice! IR? Converted camera or filter? I've shot with a filter a bit but have been thinking of getting an old camera converted.
