There is a new version of SILKYPIX available from their website. It adds another couple of cameras and "Improve the quality of JPEG encoding"

It's not Hello! or Vogue, but the next issue of Chiltern News, the magazine of the Chiltern Society will contain a photograph taken by a Pentax User of this parish

Very impressive birdies for being hand-held.

Nicolay,

I only shoot RAW, so changing the in-camera sharpening settings won't affect what I am shooting. I prefer RAW because of the flexibility it gives in post-processing the images. Give it a try and I'm sure you'll be as amazed as Lilly was!

Were you shooting in RAW or JPG? AFAIK, in-camera sharpening only applies to JPG. Shoot RAW and sort it out on the computer, that was the design philosophy followed by the designers as there is a heck of a lot more computing power in your PC compared to the camera.

...But I expect Matt'll be along to put me right any moment now

Ok, still off topic:- Series 1 was "Bad Wolf", Series 2 "Torchwood" and I predict, series 3 is "Vote Saxon".

Nice picture, but the real Rose is a bit more, well, um, "Up Front"

A circular polariser can be rotated. When attached to your lens, can you rotate it?

I think that I read somewhere that an "undocumented" fix in Firmware 1.11 was for VPN. I'm just having a "senior moment" as I cannot recall where I read that!

A good tripod head like the Manfrotto 488 will help, as you can rotate in the horizontal direction only, and it has a measuring ring marked in degrees which alows you to measure the amount you have swung the camera.

Nice colours and textures. I have the same lens, but can't say I've noticed any particular softness.
