To take the DA12-24 as a prime example. No doubt it's a great lens, but does it have the speed (or build) of a lens with a RRP of £1,300?

We have never, until very recently, worried about the RRP of any lens. The actual price is the "street price" and these have been stable for so long we've all but forgotten about RRPs.

If you wanted to buy a 12-24mm today, you would pay slightly more than £600 for it if you really looked. More expensive than it was, sure, but nowhere near £1300.

Good point, and you'd be more than welocme on a meet as well.

Just to repeat it's not the marque thing that's the issue - it's the behaviour behind it.

No need, just like McBrian, who pops in from time to time and is most welcome.

It's never been an issue. The only issue is how people behave on the forum, or how they don't.

Obviously on a Pentax forum you don't post all your latest great Nikon photos, just as I wouldn't dream of posting Pentax ones on a Nikon forum. Common sense really.

It may have been in the camera or in the back of the lens and ended up on the sensor after an exposure was made?

It needs approaching with some care as, as george mentions, some posters don't want a critique, they just want appreciation.

Others do want a critique and judging which is which can be tricky and lead to some offended members.

If you really want a critique for good or bad then do please say so.

The general principle is to sharpen last in the process. The reason is that sharpening does potentially introduce artifacts into the image so we want to avoid doing that and then following up with more manipulation.

Most photographers I know switch off the sharpening in the RAW converter.

If you want an in-depth appraisal then just ask and we'll all chip in I'm sure. Well, not all, nearly 10,000 registered members would be unlikely all in one go!

Photoshop is the best place for image manipulation.

Sorry everyone, I'm trying to handle a situation and maintain confidentiality at the same time and that's been made rather difficult to do. As a consequence I know it doesn't make sense, but it shouldn't really be gone into.

No need for that Alun, Scott deserves the same consideration as everyone else. We don't go in for name calling here.
