Personal opinions, as well as criticisms are always welcome.
I have only been doing this for 6 months or so therefore all help/advice is appreciated.

Just dont try it in another 6 months when I know it all

To be honest I was trying to be a bit more subtle than a "in your face" type of processing but maybe this is not the background to do it with because you imagine the handle/chain/fence to be all black and grey whereas in the original it is a lot more colourful than you may think with greens/brown/rust in there as well.

But then only I can know that

If all 11 points were lit, you would not have any idea where the camera is measuring.

Yes I realise that thanks, I was talking about 1 point lit at any one time, which you can do with a AF lens set to manual focus but not with a manual focus lens in MF setting.
Perhaps I should of made myself clearer or are you saying the K200D can do this with a fully manual lens?

There wouldn't be much point in that, would there?

Surely it would save having to focus then recompose if I could just focus using say the right hand (top if doing a portrait shot)red dot and get focus confirmation.
When I focus on an object I very rarely want it dead centre.

I was thinking of getting either the Sigma 105mm or Tamron 90mm af lenses but after using the Sigma 50mm I can now see why getting the Pentax 100mm with quick shift focus would make a lot more sense.

I reckon Kenko will come knocking at my door for this photo.

It would have been quite useful if they could have got the 11 red points showing up in manual focus rather than just the centre point though.
I can't understand why that isn't possible.

It isn't, not for me that is. But if you own a lot of old quality glass (wide angles) you might want one. personally I like the Nikon D3 approach. Best of both worlds, in one camera.
Martin.

Someone told me that the D700 also does this but it drops to a 5mp output .. is this correct and is it the same for the D3?

I would rather direct you to the original post which I just did a quick search for.

Just as a matter of interest why is FF the holy grail?
