okay guys i think i got the "picture" on the sharpning. A bunch of thanks for enlighted me on that. And also for the time that you have put into this post.

One of the reasons i have asked this question is that i would be sure that it was me and not the camera that was doing something wrong. Also because i have been thinking of buying the 150-500mm sigma for wildlife photography.

Matt is there any focus chart that you recommend?

for you Peter

Aminstar i clearly see the difference. but as you say i'me in experienced to the post processing and don't do allot.

I normally take a picture load them onto the computer and set the white balance do some crop if need and that's about it.

But as i can see from this i have to do more before i release the picture...

The only thing that is nagging me is that i have to do more on this house than i had to do on the K10.

Give me a sec (or minute) i will upload the raws too.

Also the lens is the lens i used on the K10D so i know what i expect from that lens on the K10D.

But i think that i have to get into more post processing but that is not my trade if you know what i mean.

if I do post processing I do it in lightroom and that it.

The pictures are converted to jpeg in lightroom so that you don't have to download the raw fileI take all my picture in pentax raw format.

I have uploadet one more

You might be right on that but if i look at a picture from my "old" Camera i don't see this blurryness even if i zoom 100%

uhh workflow could you specifi a bit do think in field or when i get home


I will add the camera settings to the previous post - just a sec

The linses
TAMRON AF 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO
Picture light house 1(7mb)
Picture light house 2(7mb)

If you look at the Lighthouse red/white it don't seams to be scarp. You will have to zoom 100%

Picture wood (7mb)

on this one it's the wood that seams very blurry.
Let me know what you think.

Hello Pentaxians

I'me posting here since i don't know where else to put this post. And i'me new to this forum.

I have recently bought the K20D and i was using the K10D. on the K10D i always got great sharp pictures. this does not seams to be the case with the K20D.
Now since i know that i got the right brand of camera since i loved the K10D "had to sell it " I was wondering if there was anybody else that have expericed this. I think that my pictures are blurry compared to the K10D and i have tryed the Back - front focus on the camera but without any luck "I must just be plain stupid " if there is anybody that can help me out it would be great. I have concidered to take the camera back to the dealer and let them have a look at it but i would like to be sure that i have tryed everything before i do that..

Thanks for whatever responce
