Surely the AV software should pick up the Tiff's even if it
can't detect the damage done after it's been run?

Every single lens ever made is correct only at infinity.
Primes don't change as much as IF lenses and actually
increase as you come closer.

I think you all need to study the very basics
of photography

All top shots Simon...... I like No:3 best

I also like No:2 it shows quite a lot of info. about
where the race was.

All IF lenses focus by changing the focal length.

Nice colourful shots

They seem to be driving up some steep hills!

I can't imagine how completely different posters can effect the knowledge and intelligence of others posting in the same thread... how bizarre!

This blogger who has degrees in Psychology and Theology and is also a Photography Teacher + a Pro who knows his cameras, having used Pentax since the Spotmatic days seems to confirm that a whole group of cameras inc. the P30T are based on the Cosina CT1G

He also took the very nice cover photo for the PDML Annual 2008/9

This site link claims that the P30T was made by Cosina

You would have been better with a wireless trigger. The on camera
flash will reflect off anything shiny in the picture. The easiest
solution is to make a reflector from heavy foil, a used pie foil
will do to direct the light away to the side. Cut it it and attach
with tape.

Have a look through Classifieds for pics of one.

The latest just say "PENTAX" at the top and "JAPAN" at the bottom.
