I just ordered a Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 EX DG.
So far I have seen good reviews. Anyone got one on their k10D?? Is it working good.....

You have the option to adjust 3 components of the JPG. Sharpening, contrast, and saturation.
Look in your menu to find them, tweak them, and test until satisfied.
Personally, I can't see the point. You'll probably be traashing the JPG's anyway if you shoot RAW as well. Why waste card space with JPG's as well?
Sometimes I'm just to lazy to process all pictures - why I have them in both formats - so I only need to proces some of the shots. Rest of the shots are plain shots from holiday/everday and so on - and I cant proces them all. So far I have used Picasa2 to tweak them a bit in jpeg.
I will try finetune my jpegs to get a better first time result.

I'm suprised to see the same image side by side in RAW and JPEG. Such a big difference in colour. The Jpeg seems alot darker. I use the raw+ feature so its the same image in different format.
Is this common - or can I adjust soemtihng so the jpeg is the same in colours as the raw?

The latest version of Picasa2 from Google now displays Pentax PEF files, (also will display Tiff, PSD etc), best free graphics program you can have on a PC.

I have noticed its possible to download a thumpnail program (to view in Windows) for nikon and canon.
Anyone know if a similar program is made for Pentax...please add a link if possible (for download).
Thanks in advance.

Thank you!
I think the bridge has a very slight arch in it. Could that be what you are picking up on?
Good exposure control in those two...
