Is that in LR 3???However, I just don't understand why they have never included lens distortion and perspective correction, to me it's fairly fundamental in what is supposed to be a "complete" photographic workflow solution.

That would be perfect right? The addition of perspective correction would almost make Photoshop redundant for me.
Still I would need PS for creativity so I can't get away from it.
Btw is the sharpening also improved?
I would love to see "smart sharpening" from CS4 in it, you can say what kind of blur it is and it works really well.

Yeah I thought the P-mode was the same as on the K10D but guess not.Anvh wrote:

It seems the only thing I can change is EV. I had a play and aperture remained at 4.5, shutter speed altered depending on lighting.So if the P-mode is suggestion a certain f-number but you want more depth of field then you can change that but it maintains exposure.

Basicly the P-mode on the K10D is green mode with the option to switch straight to Av or Tv mode, it could be handy when shooting a variety of subjects.

Pentax had DA*30mm on the leans-roadmap but the lens was taken off of it because of a major release (645D most likely) and it would come back after that so there is a possibility that the lens will be on sale this year.No, I'm pretty settled on a Sigma 30mm 1.4 methinks.
I don't know how long you can wait though
Why not sell your DA55-300 & Tammy and get yourself a DA*60-250?

If you read the other Pentax forum you will see a poll where a large majority are refusing to buy any SDM lenses whatsoever due to the "large" failure rate. Personally I think it's being blown out of all proportion but I must admit there do seem to be quite a few problems. We have seen SDM failure on this forum as well .. I think until Pentax do something to help put peoples minds at rest their sales will not be as good as they should.
Indeed and I wonder if the SDM is to blame because it looks like it's a KAF 2 (SDM+Screw) that have the most problems since I don't hear much about the DA 17-70 or DA*55If you read the other Pentax forum you will see a poll where a large majority are refusing to buy any SDM lenses whatsoever due to the "large" failure rate.

Also the DA*200 & DA*300 seems to be pretty problem free so if SDM was the problem than all lenses should be effected equally.

Out of interest, and still on-topic, I've read about the Pentax AF 360 flash and how it can be used wirelessly in P-TTL mode. Can it also be used wirelessly in Manual mode?
Yes it can, you can use any mode with P-TTL wireless besides high-sync, you need one external flash on your camera for that it doesn't work with the pop-up one.Out of interest, and still on-topic, I've read about the Pentax AF 360 flash and how it can be used wirelessly in P-TTL mode.

As for cheap manual flashes £45 for a new and powerful one link

Is that called covering yourself from all angles? However I'm pretty sure we will see the screw-drive in the camera for quite some years to come (hopefully).
I'm pretty sure but not absolutely sure so that's why I also need some hope.

Well it's actually green mode but one which you can overrule.
So if the P-mode is suggestion a certain f-number but you want more depth of field then you can change that but it maintains exposure.
It's an advance auto-mode so to say.

The difference between 250 and 300 is not so big as you might think
http://www.tamron.com/lenses/learning_center/tools/focal-length-comparison.php
You already have a 70-200 lens so a 100-300 would be more of an addition than a 60-250 lens.
As for the 55-300 I don't think it's that much sharper than the 70-300 but I could be wrong.

You can also set your flash on "dumb" wireless and it simply flash with every flash it sees.
So P-TTL wireless = "smart" wireless it communicates with your body and it only flash when your camera give the signal to flash.
I hope that explains it.
