Nice montage of effective shots. I'll move it to Your Photos where it may get some of the feedback it deserves.

It's normal. It takes a bit of practice to get the best out of Photomatix. It's very easy to overdo the effects and get a very grotesque image.

We've had this discussion more than once, and no doubt will again.

40mm equates with 60mm on film. That's quite a long standard lens, not so far off the 58mm that used to be reserved for early fast lenses.

No doubt some will like that, and some will not.

I agree, I like it. I've used it quite a bit for close ups of flowers and the results have been impressive.

which zoom lenses do have a DOF besides the few lenses from the Pentax A series
Lots of independent makers' lenses do - far too many to really catalogue.

Old zooms often have DOF scales, but usually only the trombone type.

Trombone zooms don't seem fashionable these days.

The Time Life book "Color" might start you off well enough. Although out of date the subject has not changed. It was part of the Time Life series on photography and a second hand copy should be easy enough to find.

The 35-70mm f2.8 with built in batteries was for the ME-F and is a red herring. That AF system is nothing to do with modern AF systems.
