I think you need to check it in better light too, not only with a tripod and static object. The forecast is for better weather tomorrow, so try it in brighter light before getting on to Chris. Focus looks soft at 300 and 260 ???? Rob Gwyn, Tested today and now all the lenses( 16-45mm,50mm,DA55-3...

To me the images do have focus where I'd expect the AF sensors to pick up detail. Remember the cross sensors are VERY big! 1st one the tree is in focus. 2nd one there isn't a lot to focus on and it seems to be focused behind, look at the tail. 3rd one seems to be spot on. 4th again the t...

Shoot me down in flames...I'm only an amateur....but with a zoom, the depth of field is especially shallow, more so if close up? And the ISO a bit high to expect wonders? Expecting too much from that lens? :roll: Got a fealing I'm going to get a slap:) You sound like you know your stuff.:?...

Is this a problem which recently developed or have you always had a problem with the camera? I know I'm probably being a bit thick ( I blame it on the change to summer time) but how could a fault like that suddenly develop? Tbh I didn't see much of a problem in any of your photos, as Tyr said m...

The K20D started to miss writing files to the card, write say two/three then miss five/six then write again had words with SRS they suggested factor reset and remove battery for good measure. Done that writing to files seemed ok then focus off after doing tests with all the lenses I noticed the l...

Thanks for the reply Tel. It sounds like the K20D will be easier to fix than Tracey's fingers! I hope you get the K20D back soon. Good luck to both of you for May - is the op before or after the get together?

Macro with pentax 100mm
I have no experience of creating images from smoke but from what I have read(little:P)i know it involves a lot of work like setting up table,camera,generate smoke,may be a back drop and flash, and also the post processing of each images,well worth the hard work:P Best wishes.

My turn! - Bird Close Ups!
Fabulous....focus on the goose and owl(?), better than on the swan?.....my amateur perspective. Down to the tiny drops of water behind the beak of the goose and tiny feathers of the owl and the colour of its eyes. I personally would be very happy with those...are you a pro? IMHO Rob

My turn! - Bird Close Ups!
Great portraits. The owl is awesome. However, I think focus is slightly off on the swan.

My turn! - Bird Close Ups!
Hi guys, thanks for the comments, appreciated. Was lying on a river bank taking the first 2 shots testing out the Sigma 100-300 F4, and was trying to use the advice picked up here of focussing on the eyes. The goose was quite happy to pose, but the swan was more cautious so couldn't get the right...

I guess the 55-300 doesn't focus that close or you would have had a great shot too :lol:

Same Problem as Tel? (poor focus) C&C please
Sorry to stretch this thread everyone, but I just thought I should put up some examples and may be it will help drawing the conclusions. Apologies as the Great tit was taken without the TC and the goldfinch with the TC, but I just dug out two more examples of lack of sharpness and they were precise...

Same Problem as Tel? (poor focus) C&C please
Or is it as I suspect that common problem operator error. Acquired this lens in January it is a Sigma 50 -500mm and these are taken at 500mm in poor light with me trying to juggle the aperture to get as fast a shutter speed as possible. I am not worried about the noise but I am concerned that the...
