    Interesting. AI = The homogenization of art. That's an Ansel Adams level quote. Brilliant. DXO Photolab with the additional Filmpack does these very things with no AI except in the denoise feature. I think it's also a bit cheaper. The DXO film pack I think can also be had as an Adobe plug in or on its own. A very similar product. Of course any Fuji X camera already has the film simulations built in as well.

    Hi Tim, also using the om-1 for macro, albeit with the 30 and 60 mm macro lenses. Do you have a stock setting for f/, number of shots and increments for the in-camera focus stacking? I can't seem to get it right.

    • @petemellows
      @petemellows 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Mike. Thanks for your question. Tim doesn't have a public TH-cam account, so I'll post his response here. From Tim: That is a tough question. I'd say f stop no higher than f8 to avoid softness/diffraction. I generally use increment of "2", but the further you are from the subject the higher that increment can be. I also don't use focus stacking with the OM, but rather focus bracketing. The bracketing option doesn't spit out a nice jpg automatically, but gives you a lot more flexibility with number of shots. Post processing is required.

      Spot on! It's not easy to see and takes real effort.

    What a lovely surprise! If you can't find the film camera - I've a Pentax one sitting in my place that I can pass along. The lenses I have for it mean I can go for f8 on them all. And I also noticed that the battery drained quite quickly - it may have been sitting in the shop for awhile given it isn't a regular type of one. There if you want to have a play with that film you've scored!

      That’s so wonderful of you! What’s the best way to get in contact?

    The bag is a perfect size for the Pentax 17 I think, my 17 is due to be delivered this week.

    Pentax has zero support in the USA. I remember when they were in Colorado when it was still Pentax under Hoya, those guys had all but given up, but you could call them and ask them tech questions and they would do their best. Under Ricoh, in the USA, they use the same call center that handles Ricoh's copiers and it's worthless. Ah, but then Americans only want the newest and shiniest stuff even if it's not as good. 🙂 Nice bag o' goodies!

      Support here is good with the Pentax distributor, CR Kennedy. Promotion is not though. Apparently they gave away some 17s in Sydney, but generally they preach to the choir here. That’s why I was so surprised with the mystery box. Cheers
