I'm going to drop you a PM.

It depends which section Ken looked in, he probably didn't expect them to be scattered about. Anyway, mystery solved.

I have just removed one post there, simply because it gives information that would be confidential to another member.

However, the mystery is simple to resolve. Having checked, I see that the same subject has been posted several times, so the extra ones were removed. One thread on a subject only please, several across the forums is considered spamming.

I've also moved this to Troubleshooter, which seemed the most appropriate place.

The OP had received a PM outlining the situation even before this thread was started.

That's very nice. Lovely colour, lovely light.....a great image.

Well you can be critical if you wish, but the reason is that companies were spamming the PM system. This is one way in which a very irksome problem has been tackled.

I particularly like the third shot, a really good composition.

If your pictures are now sharp, and they seem to be, then the job is done.

Excellent Gary, looks like you've travelled far!

The Q is lovely and the new 15-45mm 06 telephoto zoom is an amazing lens.

Of course the one you found OK was a Pentax, being made by them in the same factories.

However, some people find a need to adjust lots of lenses. Some, like myself, have never found such a need. When I do, I'll run the appropriate tests and make adjustments. With a zoom it will be a compromise as it may differ at different focal lengths and distance settings.

Don't you just love robins, they settle almost within inches sometimes, present a few poses and then move on. But they really don't seem bothered by humans that much.

The only problem is making sure the camera is handy when they decide to pose. You've got all the ingredients with this one!

On reflection, our new poster won't be able to PM yet, but if you ask Ken to do so in this thread, he will PM you, after which you'll be able to reply in like manner.

Hope that helps.
