Sometimes a photo isn't as sharp as we want - or think it should have been.
I use Dx0 PureRaw2 on RAW photos. It doesn't do JPG files.
What software do you find helpful to use to improve/edit your photos?

Topaz seems to be doing a Black Friday offer

Anyone interested in all of the kit for, say, £150 inc postage?

One helpful person has advised that it is special because of the 1983 European Camera of the Year lens cap and sticker

Good news: I have put in new batteries and all seems well. A lovely sound when the shutter fires. Tried it at various shutter speeds.
Bad news: There seems to be a tendril of fungus in the SMC Pentax A 70-210mm zoom f4 lens which, as we know, isn't ideal but won't affect the image quality.

Not used, just tested and got for a project/event that never happened!

The Sigma EF-610 DG ST Pentax PA-PTTL features a powerful Guide Number of 61 and is designed to work with the TTL auto exposure system.

The autozoom function automatically sets the optimum illumination angle in accordance with the lens' focal length in a range from 24mm to 105mm. When the built-in Wide Panel is used, the flash can cover the angle of 17mm. For bounce flash, the flashgun head can be tilted up by 90 degrees, to the left by 180 degrees, or to the right by 90 degrees. It can also be tilted down by 7 degrees allowing ease of use for close-up photography.

In addition to automatic mode, the flashgun also features a manual flash mode, making it possible to set the flash power to full or 1/16. When the flashgun is fully charged, a confirmation 'ready' light will be emitted and the flash exposure level can be checked through the camera’s viewfinder. Other features incorporated into this flashgun include the Auto Power-Off function to help save battery power.
