I have a similar cutter and raise the bar slughtly when inserting the print. I've never had any scratches, it just needs normal care.

How do you create these images - in particular last week's competition entry :

I haven't used a 16-45, but I would just mention that in low light (a church interior), a DA* 16-50 with its SDM focussing and wider aperture should focus a lot faster than the 16-45.
And to be honest, f4 is not what I call fast, for a wide-normal lens.

I had missed the reply from the OP about a family wedding.

The SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm f4 is superb and not too expensive.
So for the money you can't go past the 16-45

You need to cut back on the sauce, George. It's no good having you as my linguistic role model if you're going to do this to me.

PS: I indulged in a lightly grilled, locally caught, Dover sole this evening, washed down with rather too much of an impudent little Sauvignon Blanc from the "Jardin de la France" (no, I've never heard of it either). A lame excuse for an unforgiveable lapse, but the best I can come up with at this late hour.

Congratulations to Chirpy and indeed to all who entered, for a very interesting set of photographs. Species ranging from the almost microscopic through to giraffes and of course not forgetting the snails

All I can say is that I personally congratulated the judge shortly after midnight

Focus appears to be the main problem, not always easy to get right on furry objects.
Exposure appears about right.
The background does absolutely nothing for the image.
Almost any other background would be better.
