Well of course, a 'Womble' would choose this topic...

Just when the weather here turns to mud too... One of your waist-level view-finders would come in handy this week Kris

Mike,

On account of your article here, you had me looking at my AF, and sure enough, things were not the way they once were! What also prompted me was an hour or so down at the local creek today, shooting ducks using continuous autofocus (being lazy). I got home to find that there were very few keepers. Nearly everything was back-focused. I used three lenses for the shoot, so I had a hunch as to where to look...

Oddly, now one size fits all (zooms and primes). That new size is +120um on my K10 body. Fortunately, I had installed the 'Russian hack' some time ago, and kept it active so the camera stays in DeBug mode permanently.

That one setting is even the right one for the Tamron 90 mm 2.8 macro - so on this body it now appears to be a universal one, after some quick focus tests with all lenses in the back yard, at 20 paces.

Some more field tests are coming up this weekend by the looks.

Well done Kris

Well done on all three.

The second shot is a beaut, with the light and the focus.

Maybe a crop of the RHS of the monks, to eliminate the bin?

No 5 for me also, on account of the light. A few of the shots look as if they could do with another sharpen after resizing?

I like the porttrait, and the processing works really well.

Balconies and Window are good Tim, Mandarin is even better.

Black Hole and Blown Out are good for me Tim - both are very appealing.
