I had some dust, but got the sensor to do a couple of extra cleaning cycles and that sorted it. If the stick pad that holds the dust is at the bottom of the camera you probably need to hold the camera level when you do it, or the dust will fall onto the back of the lens (if the camera is benig held lens-down!)

Now I may be talking complete balderdash and piffle here but it seems to me that the area sampled by the "spot" setting seems to be much smaller than on my DS. Consequently I have been using centre-weighted in situations where I would have used spot.

The three lead engineers on the K10D were I. Hirai, T. Hotta, and S. Morishita, all plaudits to them and their collleagues!

Phil,

No daft questions, only daft answers!

When you purchase Silkypix they email you a registration code, which you enter after clicking Help > Registration.

I don't remember removing the free version, I just installed the full version over the top of it.

I can't actually remember the last piece of software that I purchased that came on media!

Hello Tipentax and welcome. It would help us answer your question if you could please tell us which pentax body you intend using the lenses.

I was sorting through some of the photographs I took last year and posting a few of them on ephotozine, and it struck me that despite all the enthusiasm I have now for the K10D, the pictures the DS can produce ain't that bad!

I seem to have to make fewer adjustments to the pictures I take with the K10D compared to my DS. There are two possible reasons:-

1) I'm getting better at photography (unlikely!)
2) The K10D's dynamic range and resoloution are more forgiving of my errors (probable!)

Sounds like a job for a spot of WD-40!

From memory, I think it was promised Q2 this year.

Wouldn't using a non-pentax power supply invalidate your warranty?
