This sort of thing ruins people's threads guys.....

IIRC you can already do something like this Stefan, by unchecking the boxes of the items that are memorised when the camera is witched off.

In this way they revert to the default settings instead of the setting last used.

Frankly that would really annoy me. To give an example with an all manual camera it would be as though someone had changed all the camera settings every time you switched it off. I never had an MX that did that!

Very different Mike, it's good to experiment.

This one shows the early morning mist burning off in the weak sunlight, somewhwere east of Kyle of Lochalsh this morning.

We'll close this thread to avoid confusion.

By a blue shift do you mean an overall blue colour cast?

If so, check the WB setting isn't on Tungsten and reset it to either Daylight or Cloudy. Cloudy if you want warmer pictures.

This assumes you are shooting in JPEG.

It will be available as a download, but at a cost, as are all of AP's tests.

AP also ran a good review of this lens.

Using a 28mm on a DSLR will have a field of view similar to a 42mm on a film camera - a short standard.

A 35mm would be closer to the standard 50mm on film that you are used to, but both would be fine.

The 50mm is equivalent to a 75mm, so a rather long standard or a short telephoto, but useful nonetheless. Many of my shots get a slight crop anyway, so there might be a case for a longer standard lens!

The K20D can under-expose, but that's far better than over-exposing. I've been working alongside Nikon users from time to time recently and overall the Pentax exposures are more accurate than the Nikon ones. However, as we have different photographers involved it's more than likely different techniques and different photographers rather than an intrisic problem with the cameras.

I'm sure that given even lighting and a grey card all the cameras will be within specification, depending on how they are calibrated by the different manufacturers.

It's a matter of applying exposure compensation to taste, as required by the individual photographer.

Good point George - very often AF is not helpful anyway for much macro work.
