My K-r also has a similar problem and this is in daylight not indoors. The AF accuracy is not great. Lots of my shots are not focussed properly. It appears to be much better in LiveView however. Initially I thought its just a shaky hand problem but a second and then third round of shots had similar problems.
When you use the AF sensor you've with all sorts of variations to deal with, there is even variation in how the same model of lenses behave.
With the advance camera models you can therefore calibrate the AF yourself, have no idea if you can do that with the Kr. I believe you can send your camera to pentax together with the lenses and they will calibrate everything for you, it will probably cost you some money though...
Most likely you can put the camera "debug" mode yourself and you can calibrate the AF too that way.

As a macro lens, the focal length does not provide enough clearance for insects. Outside the macro range, it does not provide the same magnification power as lens in the 100mm range.
100mm is better for insects but 35mm is not imposable.
he has some nice ones.

Since there is nothing else in the picture it is impossible to tell how big it is as you have no reference. The circle of confusion is therefore irrelevant.

collections and folders are two different thing, folder is how it looks on the disk and collections is only in lightroom.
You can make smart collection, that's most likely the easiest and best way to do it since it keeps track on your tags and keywords.
Here is a vid on how to do it http://lightroomkillertips.com/2008/video-tip-smart-collections/

Does that fulfill your need?

Good to see RAM last longer.

Just to put my sighting in context, comparing it to a to a 747 in the sky I would estimate it at something around 200ft tall.
Chinese lantern - no.
And it's out of focus so the circle of confusion are larger.

Nice piece of software. The Pentax software refuses to work on Windows 7 in the 64bit flavour so an alternative is very welcome!

All of the Pentax 85mm lenses are very good. If you really want thin depth of field then the A*85/1.4 or the FA*85/1.4 would be excellent but very expensive.

As I shoot in RAW+ is there a way of splitting the DNG files from its jpeg files easy?
I would make then two 'smart folders', one for DNG and one for jpeg, or can that be done automatically?
May I ask to much here of the program?
