My version 1 copy was very good across the range but I recently brought a WR version and that seems a bit on the soft side across the range - but I did buy it for when I'm out and the weather gets bad - nothing seems sharp when it's pouring down!
Oh and it was cheap!

Yes Peter I suppose f3.5 isn't really wide enough.

Yes I had the lens wide open and zoomed right in to view the test shots but didn't notice much difference - like you say John it is only fine adjustment but I thought I would have seen more of a difference.

Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Earlier I was testing my K30 with 18-55 WR kit lens - it seemed to focus ok at 0 but when I adjusted the fine focus to -10 & +10 it didn't seem to make much difference. Maybe it's only noticeable on sharper lens??

My K30 was supplied with SIlkypix 3. What I like is my dng's will open in my ancient Photoshop Elements 6!

Maybe all of us on the forum could visit the same beauty spot on the same day - we'd then spot lot's of other Pentax users and imagine the look on Canon / Nikon owner's faces when they see they are out numbered!

Sounds good! Just hope the price stays similar to Lightroom 4.

Great Shots - what a great combo K-5II + DA12-24mm (plus your skills of course!)

Some people really take the mickey with the carry-on. It's been a few years since I took an Easyjet flight in which all the carry-on fitted in the inside of the plane. They ask for volunteers to leave carry-on in the hold, in exchange for which they allow the volunteers to board first. In the case of insufficient volunteers it's the last people to board who have to give up their carry-on.

No way am I entrusting expensive camera gear (and sometimes my work laptop) in the hands of Easyjet. I have experience with lost luggage and Easyjet are bad, so my carry-on contains anything of real value plus clothes for at least three days.
This is what happens though I tend to find people with small hold size cases are asked to put their luggage in the hold but if you have a back pack type bag they let you carry it on.

If you have only recently bought PSE 9 then I would spend more time learning to use it, and finding it's limitations before considering another program.
That said Lightroom and PSE do work well together, and you may feel you want to add it later.
I'm with Gwyn here -Lightroom and Elements do work well together -I do most things in Lightroom - however you can open up images in Elements from Lightroom when you need to do a panorama or use layers etc.
