DOes it do the same with an external flash?

There was a peddle car race round the town yesterday so thought I would grab some photos. To be a little different I did a few of people taking pictures of the race itself.

Not a Pentax in sight ...

K10D & DA* 60-250mm f4

Thanks, I was too busy banging my head against the wall in annoyment to notice my name had been put on the list

Bugger, been at work all day, count me in if still possible

Got all excited for a second, from the title I thought Pentax had released a DA* 300mm f4 macro lens overnight without me knowing.

Nope, nothing in that ... maybe it was just an exposure issue in the macro shots.

Excellent pics, especially considering the lack of light.

To my eyes they lack that crispness that I have come to associate with Pentax and in particular your macro shots.

There seems to be a lot of noise for a ISO 200 shot and the focus certainly seems to be off in most of them.

Sorry

Because the K20D was not different enough for me in the ways that I wanted. Yes, the better ISO, limited liveview and focus option for lenses may well be enough for a lot of users but as I see it the AF speed and fps should have been done at the same time.
I have seen enough output from the K20D to know that while it is better than the K10D it is not enough for me to move up.

You only have to look at the Flickr stats on Pentax bodies to see that most seem to agree .. there are more than twice the amount of K10D users than K20D and thats 18 months after they released the K20D.

As you said, a very personal thing.

Sorry Clarky but to be blunt these are nowhere near your usual standard.
I am really hoping that you are having n off day and this is not what the K-7 is capable of macro wise otherwise I will be doing some serious thinking about what to do next.
