Sorry, but it is too important for me. It's deciding whether PUF is still for me or not. If posts are removed in an instant without prior notice and members banned for voicing criticism then this is not the place for me.

Of course the mods have the right to do as they see fit at their discretion, as spelled out in the rules. But I, as every other member, have the freedom to stay or leave. And for me it is important that the moderation is carried out responsibly and fairly.

I think Wales were robbed in the game vs. South Africa, but the referee's decision is final. I don't hear them complaining about what would have been an epic win. They're just focussing on their next game!!

If you stay - great. If you go - it'll be a loss. Your decision, but either way life goes on.

(Bu**er! Now I'm getting drawn into this thread. I'm as bad as all the rest of you MUST GET A LIFE:roll

Guys, girls, there are two sides to every story.

Let's just leave it to the two sides who really know what happened and the rest of us move on and keep out of it.

As George says 'lifes too short'.

The words don't do too much for me, but the photos are great (IMHO)

Hi all,

I was taking some test shots with my new Sigma 50mm Macro (on a tripod)at various apertures, and whilst they were high quality I'm convinced they could be sharper (or maybe its just me), and as I didn't get a user guide with my used KR, what is best procedure for 'tuning' in lenses using the fine focus adjustment facility?
I'm assuming what you're looking for is advice on the best procedure, set-up, etc?

Rather than repeat other posts, if you search for AF tuning here on the Forum it will throw up a few discussions and pointers, as this has been a much aired issue.

If you don't find what you want, PM me, and I'll forward you a number of (non Forum) links on the subject.

There is a setting in the menus for the K10/K20 as to what you want reset and what you want to keep each time you turn it on. I have it set to put the ISO to 200 and get rid of any exposure compensation etc. No idea if the K-m has the same sort of thing?

Checked the manual; can't see this for looking

Thanks for that, but it's not the one!

Algernon had included a suggestion regarding Hoya selling everything in the shop before Ricoh took over.

Your right honesty is better than a fast 50, which is why I was been honest in why I am selling my stuff.
Sorry it's auto foucs, I wasn't aware they made a smc 50mm 1.4 in MF which is why I didn't list it.
I think the point is more which 50/1.4 is it?

Mine, for example, states 'SMC PENTAX-FA 1:1.4 50mm' on the side of the lens barrel.

Don't overlook the fact that as a student you might also be eligable for student software deals from Adobe, Microsoft, etc, which could easily recover the cost of the course.

I'd also be interested in whether this is a distance learning course, and if so, who's offering it?
