Surely not, Pentax is best, innit?
I know you're kidding, but the answer is Pentax is the best when it's the best. It's the preferred when we prefer it, even if other things are just as good.

In this case, what the format is labelled is irrelevant, but the ongoing convenience of DNG is very appealing and my personal choice.

are K-5 PEFs different from K-7 ones
Every model has its own slightly different PEF which, IMO makes DNG the RAW capture of choice.

You'll have to ask them, as they are not connected to Pentax User, unless someone who is a member of both forums noticed?

Whatever the effect is you're seeing, which isn't obvious in the forum sized picture, the real problem is IMHO lighting. We need some light and sparkle in the eyes and a bit more light spilling into the shadow areas.

This does of course depend on the style you want, but maybe at least a reflector could have added something more than especially the dead-black eye socket in the shadows.

You probably need to return the camera for replacement. You shouldn't have to mess about to get it to work.

What sharpening method do you use? I ask as both lenses mentioned are sharp stopped down and we shouldn't expect images to look soft focus.

Reading between the lines of the reply I received, it seems the trigger point may be 100 votes. Get 100 votes, your picture is approved.

The current delay is that after the down time there are a mass of uploads, far more than usual, plus the backlog, so they expect it to be quicker as time goes on and things settle down.
