Pete,

You are a very brave man - don't expect that workstation to ever work again!

No problem Pete, that's what these forums are for (I hope). My printed Optio manual was in french (came with a CD which did have an english pdf version on it)

Pete,

Well I hope you get the lens. After I ordered my Optio Wpi (for carrying up
mountains) I had to deal with endless prevarication from Pixmania.



I googled them and found that an awfully large number of people complaining about the same thing. They seem to have a habit of quoting items as "in stock" when they are not. A lot of their stock are "grey imports", oh and if you need Pentax to repair the lens, don't mention Pixmania, or they'll roll their eyes a lot.

Question: I have done most of my "serious" photography in the digital age. Were photographers quite so obsessed with sharpness when it was all film?

Regarding the picture, I can see jaggies on the reflection of the softbox in the third photo, so I'd say that's the boundary between enough and too much.

We'll all be standing behind George, though!

I was wondering what other users of the forum had employed for any websites they may have created? I've been using a combination of Dreamweaver 4, J album (for the galleries) and WordPress for the blog.

Dreamweaver is a bit of a monster for my needs and I'd like to downgrade to something slimmer (like J album and WordPress)

If you are really really lucky a man from Pentax may teleport himself to your side and present you with a brand-spanking new camera. Or is that just a dream I have?

Hear Hear! (or should it be "here, here"?)

Do I detect a bit of vignetting in the original?

Scarlton,

There is some contoversy over whether digital SLR's are soft or sharp. Soime manufacturers (c@n@n) have been accused of setting the software in their cameras to "over sharpen" the image. Then, hey, we go and soften up all those romantic portraits!
