I agree with Matt.

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.

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.
Same for me.

Forgot to buy it again at lunchtime

It claims to be a full 7 page review.

I use a Kata H-14 for my camera + a single long / short lens and a Kata R-102, when I want to carry everything around.

Very interesting.

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.

A good point.

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.
I agree with John, I have the DA*16-50 and it is a very good lens but little difference from what i can see too the 16-45.
So for the money you can't go past the 16-45
I also agree (as a DA* 16-50 owner) that the 16-45 is an absolute bargain at its current price.

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.
Swish, slurp, clunk. The sound of a shamed and horrified G falling on his sword.

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.
That Dover sole sounds rather excellent. Down here you would have to sell a lens to pay for one

What about congratulations to the judge?

Steve
Ah ! I wondered if anyone would spot that one

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