Well done Rob, good to see the 60-250 being put to excellent use

Matt, not sure how far you go with RAW conversion and touching up your images but I use CaptureOne Pro for RAW conversion and Helicon Filter for resizing and any additional tweeks.
Rawtherapee is also worth a look, it's free to download and use and you can donate to aid continuing development if you wish.

In the age of low priced high capacity memory cards and rather fast cameras I can not see any reason to shoot in JPG other than you want to use the pictures immediately after shooting. Or am i wrong?
Yes I would agree, it's certainly my preference.In the age of low priced high capacity memory cards and rather fast cameras I can not see any reason to shoot in JPG other than you want to use the pictures immediately after shooting. Or am i wrong?

Well, I am not English (whether bright mind or not is another issue...), but as simultaneously using another system together with Pentax and comparing the two systems day by day, I can confirm that those are the two areas where Pentax needs significant improvement. In all other areas Pentax is better or in par. IMHO.
I assume you are using a K-7 body? Which lens combination do you use and do you shot RAW or Jpeg?

Just interested because I think high ISO noise with the K-7 is certainly no worse than the K20D

Thanks Greytop. I wonder where the 1.4x converter Pentax promised us over 12 months ago is? That might be the solution.
Fingers crossed Thanks Greytop. I wonder where the 1.4x converter Pentax promised us over 12 months ago is? That might be the solution.

Actually I would agree with Mike's comment here. To qualify my earlier statement, the Tamron (MC4) works well with the 60-250 in that the SDM focus motor continues to work. However sadly the image quality does drop a few pegs when it's attached. I must add that imo the 60-250mm really doesn't take a teleconverter very well whereas the Sigma 100-300mm does.
I keep it in my kit bag and use it on occasion but generally I do as Richard says and crop to magnify.

Well it seems Chrism was wobbling between various manufacturers if you read back through the posts on the 'other' forum. Looks like he had a fairly strong allegiance to Sony and that shone through for him in the end.
I hope he enjoys his shiney new A700
