Nice! The jaggies, are they jaggies on the original full-sized stack? Might be the method you're using to resize it to a smaller pic, try the other ways (if using photoshop that is)

I have and use both, but in a very niche way. I don't have the new 540, just the old one, but in terms of those two I do prefer the Metz. It has a wider range of manual settings with in between stops, and can do things with K7 that 540 can't (rear sync on manual with non-k optic). It has a sturdier mount than the Pentax and like you say, can be updated. More differences here:

Depends what you want to shoot, but a Raynox closeup lens is usually a great way to start out. This snaps on the front of your existing lens and means you can still use in-camera metering. Recommended!

Don't know cabstar, nice to have sure but for me I'd rather camera companies concentrated on photography (be it optics, hardware or software) rather than trying to be something else. I'd rather that cameras had inbuilt focus stacking, inbuilt electronic filters ie inbuilt ND110 and inbuilt reverse ND grads but also had some sort of Bluetooth button that let you ping them onto your phone easily. Err and FF and affordable too whilst we're at it

Just a fyi - AF-160 is really really good - much better than the 3rd party ones because the flash tubes are large and almost cover 360 degrees. P-TTL even works for me with 2 Raynoxes mounted at -2EV.

Having looked at it again I like it even more. Has anyone tried photographing a woman looking dishevelled like this. I think it would take some convincing.

heh, that's not such a bad point

The look, dirty clothes and emotion are all memorable, but really considering it's a portrait I think it could have been posed better. That two colour background is a bit sloppy I think.

Do people really actually search in categories that much? When I know what I want I look for it by name, stuff the category!

Dunno, I'd think modern is APSC but anything K mount is "usable". M42 at least requires an adapter which slightly differentiates it from K mount for me?
