Not that anyone has ever accused me of being cynical

John, Matt, I know it may be a pain, but is it worth considering preventing guests from posting, to prevent the forum from being spammed? What do others think?

Check the originating IP's and see if they are registered to C@n*n or N#k@n?

Yes the Radiant Vista website, is worth a look, but not the post from the SpamBot!

Interesting. I have seen something similar in Scott Kelby's book "Photoshop elements for Digital Photographers" where he uses layers, luminosity and gaussian blur to sharpen without creating colour shifts and noise, which worked pretty well for me.

I've been using Rawshooter essentials (free download from www.pixmantec.com) to handle the conversion from RAW to TIFF then doing final editing of the image in PSE. Much better (imho) than ACR. Now Rawshooter have a premium version with some extra editing features that closes the gap on PSE. But the free version is good enough for most purposes.

Speed Graphic www.speedgraphic.co.uk are stocking the new, if expensive Sensor Brush cleaning system. I have one on order, I'll let you know how it works out.

You could try one of the kits advertised for cleaning the sensors on Digital SLRs - if it's safe for the sensor it should be safe for the focusing screen! I've had good results with this one http://www.visibledust.com/sensor_cleaning_products.html It has sterilised wipes and purified alcohol. I may be paranoid but I also wear a mask to stop me coughing or sneezing over the camera when I clean mine.

According to the manual on the sigma website http://www.sigmaphoto.com/flashes/manuals/F14PA.pdf (english starts on Page 17!)

"Thank you very much for purchasing the Sigma EF-500 DG SUPER PA Electronic Flash. This product is
specifically developed for the PENTAX AF series autofocus SLR cameras."

The compatibilty table http://www.sigma-photo.co.jp/english/flash/comp_500dg_sup.htm#05
also mentions PA-PTTL, so it looks like you need the PA model for Pentax cameras.

Have you (a) tried resetting to factory defaults or (b) upgrading to the latest firmware?
