My SLR/c is just the same, and I couldn't care less. Keep on shooting and posting, Paul!

I don't recall seeing results like this from my SLR/n. If I wanted to provoke that, having no snow, when do you see it the most?

Bright blue sky, or other bright uniform color. I think it might be part of the italian flag thing you can read about. You have lens optimizing in the Kodak software (and in camera) that are supposed to deal with it.

In the shot with the kite surfer, look at the hue of the snow (and the white car) at the left edge: it's greenish. The rest of the frame is mostly neutral.


My laptop screen is not calibrated, which probably is why I don't see it drastically as you said.
I wish I knew how to calibrate the screen....
I need to do that on my iMac at home also....

Paul,
I suggest you invest about $100 - 150 in a monitor calibration device.I have an eye one and it does a great job, they are very easy to use and produce very good results.Here is a link to their sight http://www.xrite.com/product_overview.aspx?id=1161

Jim, thank you for the tip....
Does it work on Windows as well as on Mac, or do I have to buy two?

Paul,
I do not know, someone else might be able to answer that question for you.Maybe just software for both.It comes with a CD to load the software.What is nice is they are very portable and you can carry them with you when you travel and you have a portable 'digital darkroom' to maintain accurate, consistent color

Works with windows and mac. They come with software for both.
A decent calibrator is one of the best investments anyone can make in the digital era (ok well a good monitor might come first there).

I have a Huey Pro and I dont recommend it over the EyeOne models. I only use it 'cause I got it for $50 and my screen is prety good without calibration anyway

The new X-Rite device is almost certainly great. The Huey Pro does a credible job, if perhaps not quite at the discriminate pro level, name notwithstanding. I am heading for the ColorMunki in the very near future, so if someone in the EU is looking for a used Huey Pro, email me.

I think you should be able to see it on the iMac. I see the green on the edges (mostly on the left) of the image in this one of yours very clearly as well:

I'll contribute my example from Kodak Pro14N and Zeiss ZF MP 100/2 combo. For low-ISO shots I think this camera is great and also I love the grip and how soft and silent the shutter feels, compared to Canon 5D.

The beauty of these camera is the colors, colors ....did I mention colors?......
Also, the detail is better than any modern DSLR I've used thus far...
I grab this camera over 5D MkII during daylights...

Just look at each strand of hairs from Ataboy's picture...

just went through this whole thread! I even looked on eBay to see if there are any available, and there are none listed. Oh well, I got the next best thing to the Kodak; an OG 1Ds

Do these cameras output RAW files or JPG?

Both...
Actually, they are DCR and JPG format...
You can convert DCR file to Tiff file format in Photodesk software supplied by Kodak....

I don't like JPEGs coming out of Pro14N, they look over-processed. Raw files (.DCR format) are the way to go and the Adobe Lightroom handles them very well.
