I was a bit disappointed with the sharpness of the K20D
Both our K20Ds were quite sharp enough, but not so sharp that they looked unnatural. More sharpening can be applied in Photoshop if required.

The enemies of sharpness are more likely to be down to lenses, camera shake or depth of field problems.

Indeed, I found the K20D far more demanding than the K10D as regards the quality of lenses used, hence I have a selection of primes.

Howard, in the first shot is that a car up on the embankment?
Probably the signaller's car if it is judging by the proximity. Long time no see John, was it December 12th last year "The York Yuletide Express" IIRC
