I have since bought a Tamron 24-135mm, DA 50-200mm, AF-360 flash, Pentax-F 50mm F1/7 and just the other day a DA 16-45mm and all have been as described.
Mind you, cant understand why he would upgrade when he has only taken 1500 shots in 7 months, mine has done 5 times that amount in 4 months

Very cute - that's when my kids and I yell out "Duck Butt!" and anyone who's listening thinks we're weird.

I use matrix but looking at pictures on flickr I noticed a lot of them seem to use spot metering and thought maybe I was missing something

* The shutter release button is set to NOT autofocus on half touch.
* I use centre focus all the time
* Pressing the AF button on the back engages autofocus.
That enables me to carefully select the focus point, but make use of the cameras accurate focus (especially when shooting at f/2.4 and wider). Kind of "auto-focus-on-demand".
I think that's about the third time I have used your settings for one thing or another.
Thanks.

Cheers for that.
Just to say I've only had a K10D for the last 3 weeks and am a new digital convert. I'll be a regular on here now so I can get the most out of the camera.
It's nice to see you weren't just taking advantage of Unlockers very generous offer after all

I was actually hoping someone would comment on the softness which I noticed and so back up what I was thinking which is why I also put them on another forum I use.
From them I gained some useful information about shutter speed combined with ISO (I was getting them totally mixed up .. please remember I have only been doing this a few months) and so I went back yesterday with the same lens. These are a few of what I took, not an earth shattering subject but this excercise was more about the lens.
Trouble was I think, that I got so wrapped up with doing macro stuff that I haven't really used the camera for anything else and the settings for that are more or less burned into my brain.
