  1. Mike, I don't know how you can make such an expert observation. Nowhere do they tell us what camera was used to take the picture of the person holding the print--it could have been taken with a cellphone camera for all we can tell and the aberrations may therefore be inherent to the 2nd generation copy of the print and not to the actual print itself.
  2. John,

    The Zenitar works great on my D70, you just lack metering. It's a very sharp little lens. If you're interested in buying one, I purchased a Sigma 15mm fisheye because I needed to be able to use aperture priority as I shoot concerts (the lighting changes too fast for me) and I have one to sell. It's been mounted on the camera about 5 times and I like it (MUCH smaller than any other fisheye lens I've seen), but I just need the auto-metering for fast-paced work.

     

    email if you're interested, I have references here on photo.net, on apug.org, and on ebay.

  3. I am trying to create a step tablet in photoshop like described at

     

    http://www.bradhinkel.com/Correction%20Curves%20for%20Digital%

    20Negatives.htm

     

    to use in setting down some personal correction curves for printing

    digital negatives. My problem is that using PhotoshopCS I will go to

    the CMYK part of the color pallette enter in for example 0,0,0,34 for

    the 34% grey box and fill it. The problem is that when I place the

    mouse over the now filled box the info gives the K value as 29%. This

    is just one example, but every box is wrong after 0%. Should I just

    put in my K value in the color picker and ignore what the info pallete

    says or should I adjust what I place into the color picker so that the

    info pallete info comes out correct.

     

    My monitor is calibrated, but I would think that this would have

    nothing to do with it as whatever color shows up on my screen is

    superfluous as photoshop should still be filling with a certain K%. I

    don't understand why this is changing from the time I choose the color

    to when I fill it. I am using Edit>Fill>Foreground Color.

     

    The image is greyscale and I am working in Gamma 2.2 as that is my

    normal colorspace for editing.
