Indeed, very good advice.

The rules are the rules for a reason, they aren't just pulled out at random.

Common confusion exists, but here goes: Images on the computer and in Photoshop are measured in ppi (pixels per inch) and this should be 72ppi for screen and web and 300ppi for prints, unless your commercial printer requires a different resolution.

Printers lay down dots of ink in dpi (dots per inch) and a printer resolution might well be 1400dpi or 2880dpi or similar large amounts.

If you actually made an image in Photoshop at 2400ppi it would be an immense file and would take ages to load, clog up the memory and might not seem to load at all. If anyone every finds a file oddly large, then check you are sizing in ppi and not ppcm (pixels per inch not pixels per cm!) as it makes a bit of a difference.

If you're not impressed, then you probably have a faulty example. Send it back and get aniother and I would expect all will be fine.

Maybe Pentax should take a chance and bring out a DSLR that has features that makes people sit up and talk about at a price where they will beat a path to Jessops (if they survive) or any retailer.
I thought they aready did and it was called the K-5 :

The standard lens hood works fine, with no vignetting. Although marked for 50mm lenses, the field of view of the 35mm on digital is about the same.

Second hand off eBay will be better than the £60 price tag!

Snap Amazon's hands off before the offer disappears. There's no problem with this lens. I suspect that sometimes users think there's a problem at the long end of zooms that is largely caused by camera shake. You don't know how much experience the reviewers on Amazon have.
