Am I being too picky, but how many people have been lead straight to the bright water between the two trees and missed that beautiful brickwork?

I prefer the second one as the wall leads me to the buildings first.
Although it does seem to be two pictures; the building and the lake.

I like the backlit leafs but 3 & 4 are the standout ones. Impressive castle and nice angle.

'Getting there' is my moto too.
Thanks.
I know I have a long way to go compared to most on here, and I haven't been able to give it the time in the last year or so. But, when I look back to when I started, then, thanks to the help from here, I've come a long way.

Better than any college course!

I had a quick fiddle tonight. I concentrated on the Tamron 70 - 300mm and the Pentax 28 - 80mm lenses as they are what I most often use with this camera.
I had to apply +200um.
It has made the world of difference!
I can't test properly as the light has gone, but the couple I took outside in the low light are much better. The 28-80 still doesn't focus to infinity at 28mm, but it's near as damn it.

I'll play some more when I get back off holiday.

OK, Well I've got as far as getting into debug mode and viewing the relevant menus. I don't think I'll have the time to do this properly before I go away ( Saturday), but at least I know the principle works.

One thing I did find is that a small instruction is missing on that second link.
Create a file in Notepad called MODSET.TX
Then in the file just one line [OPEN_DEBUG_MENU] then hit ENTER

It won't work if you don't hit enter.

What they said!
I know I have a problem, but then, my camera was dropped, hard. If you can't see a problem, then relax, enjoy!

I haven't noticed the effect on the 1.7, but then, I seldom use that ( well, not enough) and when I do, it is rarely focussed to infinity and, as it is manual focus, I go by eye as well as confirmation.
But, it's a good point and I'll throw that in the mix too.

If that's the one, then I might have a go tonight, then I can test it when we are away next week.

But I would like some feedback if possible before I start tampering with my camera.

I need this info too.
Mine won't focus to infinity with zoom lenses when they are at their minimum ( 28 - 80mm & 70 - 300mm lenses).
