I love a joke first thing on a morning to start the day!sorry to hear about your cammera,I would think twice before getting a Pentax. It would hould have spoiled your trip.you should get a new camera now probably canon or nikon
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, it may be a battery issue as well as damp. As above, try a dry down and fresh battery.
Best regards

Did you try to remove noise from the image?. There is surprisingly low level of feather details (for this lens) smooth in places, which look a bit like after heavy denoising.
Here is full image from camera. No processing other than sized to 800 pix.Did you try to remove noise from the image?. There is surprisingly low level of feather details (for this lens) smooth in places, which look a bit like after heavy denoising.
Feathers were as original.

the first shot is a cracker, but do you know why they call them Forget Me-Nots because once you get them in your garden you cant get rid of them Damn things are worse than weeds!
Is this the Pentax Macro Gary?

Just getting a feel for the settings Gareth. This lens has been extensively used at distance and I don't have DOF issues. Since trying to use it "too close in" as previously posted shots show, the DOF can be critical. I normally would not use smaller than f/8 but I also wanted to see what can be seen...

Light is getting bad at the moment, so I stuck the 360FGZ, the Sigma 70-200 EX on the K7 and stood still for a few minutes.
This pigeon landed.

All comments welcome chaps. Couple of issues with focus:
I was as close as ten feet with the Sigma at 200mm for the first one.
The depth of field wasn't enough to cover the depth of the birds.
Could not move position to get a different angle as I was jammed up against a fence, trying not to move.
Bottom shot is yet another issue of lack of depth, hence bird on left is in yet due to the bird on the right being a tad closer (you seemore of the feeder hole) it's out, maybe should have pulled in on the bird on the right to allow DOF to help the bird on th left?

I needed to reassure myself that my trusty K10 produced the results. Since getting the K7, I tended to leave my K10 in the bag.
Daft really as I wrongly assumed that a newer body would produce better results. Twice as daft, since I have always praised my istD for its excellent IQ.
