... so how would I dismantle a 24? I have one, rarely use it and it back focuses at infinity a tad IMO.

Using a calibrated monitor. I've used photobox and been unhappy, pixum and been unhappy, digitaloriginal.de and been happy and now loxley colour.

I haven't seen the prints yet, though, so I can't really comment. Hopefully have them soon.

Iittala, yep, and Aalto, too.

Definitely an icon here, though I prefer Aalto's other work (such as his chairs) and Iittala are using the form for lots of stuff.

It's also around 20 yrs old IIRC, it's the wife's.

hmm. I think I will maybe re-process and crop...

believe it or not, this is 15 minutes by car from our house. Which is smack-bang in the middle of a 100000 inhabitant town....

I'm finishing off the selective sharpening of the others, I might not get around to this for a day or so.

thanks for the ideas!

C&C welcome. The top is the tammy 10-24, the lower my standard D-FA50.

well, I have to say I argued the point Saturday at a christening.
Then was told on Sunday that the church pics from the K100D aren't usable due to WB / dark. Uh-huh: Mine need a lot of work (noise, shadows, some sharpening) but they're saveable. The initial process is also pretty rapid these days and would be even faster with a real machine (working on getting one of those sorted).

It was very cool being in a house with a K100d and a K10D with a bunch of lenses and three flashes "lying" around for one of us to pick up and use.

Lots of decent pics and the 10-24 is manic for indoor stuff.

Really? I've never had problems, but then I always shoot RAW anyway...
