The better way is via Unsharp Mask, which is a more sophisticated approach that can be varied according to the subject matter.

The pentax camera looks very similar to the Samsung NX camera though - what if they are from the same joint project?

If the close focus of 1cm is proper close focus and not just at the wide angle setting, then I could use a camera like this.

I always found the Fuji S602 Pro, then the S7000, very useful, but the image quality let them down. Then the Fuji S9600 was worse and the close focus not useful.

A really good Pentax hybrid could be a winner.

There will be a specific Pentax lens hood for the lens, so should you feel inclined you could search eBay for one. The Pentax hoods are often clip on types that are very fast to use.

I use all sorts of (usually Pentax) lenses on digital, and most of them are excellent.

Probably the theoretical disadvantage of using a film lens on a DSLR (in terms of design) is outweghed by only using the centre of the lens's field of view, the bit that performs best.

If I don't hear from David by this evening I will start the competition myself, in the usual area of the gallery, and either David or I can judge it after midnight on Sunday.

Yes, I like the 100mm f2.8 lenses and would love an A version. Of course the high price gets in the way of me finding one.

The images have the same thing in common with many of those that doscuss sharpness, there's very little in them to really see as sharp.

Try a nice black and white building or something else brightly lit that's got some sharp lines in it, on a tripod. Only then will we have something definitive to judge.

David, you need to follow the link in your e-mail and start the competition in the Competition section of the gallery.

That's been left up to the individual judges. Some felt strongly that this was a Pentax forum and should be Pentax only, others, in fact most, haven't really bothered too much about that.

In general, it is pretty much a given that we are Pentax Users, but we do try not to be too pedantic, certainly not creating rules for the sake of it.
