250 plus vat & import charges is a lot of money for just an extra 25mm

if you got full frame then yes, if its for Pentax then the 17-50mm is a better option, at least you get a proper wide angle...

have you calibrated your monitor?

why do you need high fps?

the k20d is an excellent camera, as john, has said good ones are hard to find.

Just noticed one of my James Blunt shots has become one of the top 10 featured images for the weekend on www.wenn.com hopefully this may result in a sale.

Go to www.wenn.com & mine is number 9

Metering is your friend.

Shoot in manual, have ae set to focus point then whatever you focus on the meter will read of that point, set your aperture to 2.8 then adjust the shutter speed like wise.

You don't need another lens you just need to move your feet closer to the subject, oh & cropping doesn't hurt, as someone else mentioned 16 megabyte of pixels is a lot of leeway crop wise.

practice practice practice, you have a cracking body & lens there...

I love the lake image, to improve I would just crop out the top dark bit above the fence, I think the dark is distracting against the grey tones, which I really like by the way.

Thanks, unfortunately just didn't have the time to clone out before submission, beaten by the clock... i cloned the head out of another shot similar, but wasn't as sharp when exported so had to delete it....

Still cheap for an MF 400mm lens, especially APO...
