That sounds interesting, but I have all these lenses - still I can see what Canon offers that might compete or at least approach your D5200. I won't be replacing it soon, but at some point I will want some improvements. What do you think of the mirror less cameras?
Re your 5D - its low light performance is apparently pretty good, so don't be too apprehensive about keeping the exposure a bit on the low side. You can lift it in PP without having to worry too much about noise. My D5200 has a good dynamic range, but its low light performance isn't exactly staggering - it's not bad, but then again...
I've never owned a mirrorless (unless you include a bridge and a couple of compacts), but it seems to me that there has been a fair amount of progress in the last few years and it's not showing any signs of slowing down. Personally I'm going to keep a close eye on Sony and Fuji. I think they're both about to produce the next generation state-of-the-art sensors. Camera development will be all about the sensors for the foreseeable future.

Ok, thank you. You've given me some things to think about. It may cause some overheating in the cranium!

I usually find that lying down in a darkened room and reading my latest bank statement helps whenever I get a GAS attack.
Nice crater shot - good symbol :thumbup:

I am really going to put my foot in it.
I am a photography control freak.
I like to shoot as close to film rendition as possible.
Therefore (here goes) 90% of the time I shoot raw.
You might try that along with filters and adjustments to solve your issues.
Best of luck!

You're right, of course, Henrycrafter. I think that picture was shot with my old F1 (earlier I said A1 but that was wrong) and Fuji film, then scanned. But it has always looked that way. I know there's something technically wrong with it, even though I like it. Other pictures taken the same day were fine. Early on, my goal was hand held, natural light, black line prints and I was fairly successful at that. But this one has me puzzled.

If I understand your question, you want to duplicate the effect. You might be able to duplicate the effect in post processing. Picasa has several ways to give the photo a number of effects that may be similar to this. 1960's processing option seems to come close to that look. If you decide to download the program (free from Google) be sure to do it from the Google site. The other places will all try to put other things on your computer.

This was taken on film and then scanned, so there is no camera data. If I'd had the data, I might have figured it out myself. I just think it is an interesting effect and might like to duplicate it sometime.

OK, I downloaded and checked histogram. Dull picture because both brite and dark scale was off. Data below. David
original data bright and dark off
bright and dark pushed in

So can we summarise the look by saying that it -
a) Has the sort of graininess that you get from film (that would be fast film if my memory serves me well)
b) Is slightly over-saturated
c) Is lacking in contrast (not using the full tonal spectrum)
d) Has a slight colour cast (I believe that in the case of film it was always a case of what there's not enough of in the colour reproduction rather than what there's too much of).
