For web use, a 1000 pixel image looks best for me with a 4 pixel white border around it.

Select all the image (Ctrl+A) to to Edit>Stroke, first ensuring the the foreground colour is white. Set to 4px, set to "iside" and click OK.

Deselect all (Ctrl+D)

Done.

I meant compared to many macro lenses, especially independent ones. If you compare our 100mm FA Macro to the D FA Macro, then the latter is certainly diminutive.

Received wisdom doesn't change quickly and I do wonder how many RAW users have tried the excellent premium JPEG setting on the K20D. They might be surprised.

It's a fantastic lens, compact, sharp and with a lovely character. Now Arley Hall is also fantastic, an absolute riot of colour if you choose your time right.

Sale now completed.

Some of the AF lenses do seem quite "loose" compared to the primes of yesteryear. The 24-90mm and 16-45mm are two examples of this. Quality does not seem to be an issue, as these are two excellent lenses.

The difficulty lies in what we mean by "play" as it can't be conveyed easily in a forum. If it doesn't seem excessive (another delightfully vague term) then as image qulaity is not affected I'd just keep an eye on it and not worry too much.

If at some time you get the opportunity to see another example of the lens then you'll be able to compare them.

I have two buyers and the first one is currently sorting out payment.

Thank you both.
