3+4 for me too. Outstanding crispness

Perfecto! Well done!

eddyc if you want to rescue these images there is a very basic and simple solution to CA's, that doesn't require pro software, simply adjust the hue/saturation and remove/reduce blues.

This was done in Elements in seconds, I don't use Gimp but I'm sure it will have colour adjust.




You may have an image where there are blues elsewhere in the image you want to keep, in such cases use the select tool to highlight the specific area you with to reduces the blues in.

Hope this helps.

Secondly I would start doing some tests with your set up to see when the CA's are coming out so you can avoid them. e.g My DA 100mm Macro gives CA's around F2.8, but it disappears stopping down to F5.6 +.

Hello & welcome

Find a blank wall, set it to F22 and take a shot with the flash up to check your sensor is clean as a whistle.

Mine is back in at Johnsons yet again. The lens release button having fallen off, I'd noticed some tiny black specks on the edges and asked them to clean the CCD at the same time. It retuned with the specks still there, so I've sent it back yet again as it must be something other than dust. Owned it less than 3 months its been away for repair in total for a month and counting.

Excellent again bassman, some lens

Get the 150-500mm if you can.

I too was hopefully of small miracles combining the 55-300 with the K5, but alas... Glass is always more important than the camera body, some extra mega pixels and better ISO can't really help bring objects closer or get the consistent decent sharp images out of the long end of the 55-300 your looking for.

I can recommend the Tamron 17-50

Nice work!

Wild images - cheers!
