Hi Anand; I've been using Genuine Fractals for awhile now and I like it. Its strength is better quality as you enlarge. It is not a cure-all for a shot taken or saved too small or over compressed though. It also is a bit smaller file to save then a PSD Photoshop ® file. The only minuses I've notic

Guys, Many thanks for that. For some reason I hadn't considered the 24mm wide angle - and the extra field of view would be handy. I've currently got an old FA 28-80/3.5-4.7 (one of those heavy power zoom ones) stuck on the front of my Z-1. I was thinking of something a bit lighter, but I don't want

I like (well, love, actually) mine, because it's the ultimate all-mechanical body for me. It's the logical conclusion to what Pentax started with the Spotmatic, with everything improved. The metering with easy to read led's, it's smaller and lighter, you can put a very reasonably priced winder on
