All of the Pentax 100mm 1:2.8 lenses are excellent. Why not look for a used one?

So, how would I go about checking calibration on my K10d? Ouch. I do feel for you. I would be gutted.

From there you need the AF Test menu.
Unlike the K20D and newer DSLR's which can hold individual adjustments for up to 20 lenses, the K10D applies whatever adjustments you make to all lenses so you need to test all of your lenses for AF accuracy and determine whether or not you actually want to make this adjustment.
You could end up with one lens focusing perfectly with the others producing OOF images.

What are you talking about? No problems with my RAW files in Adobe Bridge or any other software I own that can handle RAW. No problems with CS5 either as I know a very good Photographer with the IIs and CS5.
Which RAW format are you shooting in? If it's DNG you will not have a problem. If you want to sell the camera, let me know! It is a superb bit of kit and I would happily make you an offer on it.

I think perhaps the Photoshop 5 & 6 referred to are probably Photoshop Elements, not CS.What are you talking about? No problems with my RAW files in Adobe Bridge or any other software I own that can handle RAW. No problems with CS5 either as I know a very good Photographer with the IIs and CS5.

Very likely, but what about hosting your own cloud like synch'ing system where the catalogue is stored on a NAS box?I think storing catalogue files somewhere on the Internet would slow Lightroom down to a ridiculous point.

I think it unlikely that they will. Their stated reason is their use of a single user database for handling the catalogue.The one thing that has been missing all the way through is an easy way to sharing over multiple machines without having to mess around with export / import and they still haven't fixed that
But what if the catalogue files were stored in 'the cloud', like Google Drive, where each machine running Lightroom also has Google Drive installed?
I'm thinking that once the catalogue has been modified by one machine, switching to another machine would synch its copy of the catalogue, and as long as all machines have the same drive letter assignments for the network/NAS stored image files, it should be good to go.

I think I'll wait for the final RTM version as this is not as significant an upgrade as was LR3 to LR4.
Also, if Adobe adopts its upgrade pricing policy to Lightroom, anybody skipping this upgrade may need to pay full price for version 6.x in a couple of years time, as is the case with some (if not all) of their other software applications.

Off, 1 - both vertical and horizontal planes are stabilised, 2 - only the vertical plane is stabilized, used when panning.
It would be nice if Pentax would add this functionality too. It does make a difference.
