I must admit the most fun I have had with it is getting rid of it. I quite like playing with registries.

Out of interest where did you get your nasty-free copy from? Others might like to know.

Sounds to me as if it should be filed under (at worst) "Oops".

If it installs itself on my PC without my permission and reports my activities then as far as I am concerned, it is a virus.

It's worth Googling it to see what others say. It seems to cause some problems.

The program doesn't do anything that any other half way decent processing software would allow you to do yourself better in about five minutes.

Stefan - if you are thinking DXO (with a free virus) it does more or less straighten the picture automatically, so either it is very clever, or it knows the characteristics of the lens. I would suspect the latter as it offers downloads for a few Pentax lenses, including this one.

Out of interest I tried the 18-55, which is the only one of the lenses mentioned above that I have and the results are very similar.

Do not overestimate hibernation. The faecal plug is not something to be taken lightly.

I am not a leader although some have tried to make me one and others have followed me. I don't like it.

I prefer bears.

I had a BMW, but no N---n. I have two Ducatis, neither of which can I ride.

This thread got me thinking about knowing what to expect from a lens.

I bought the 16-50 just before the prices went stupid last year, and haven't used it a lot since, but when I have, I have to say it has been a bit disappointing. There's something off in the geometry. I know that this is a standard criticism of this lens in some reviews, but I was surprised when I saw how bad it was in the picture below. I appreciate this is the worst case - F2.8 at 16mm. My question is would people expect it to be this bad, or is mine a duffer? Any thoughts appreciated.

On the point of food, what is missing from moussaka? It promises so much, but leaves one feeling a little disappointed.

It can't do any harm to go and check the club out and it may be of great benefit to you. Give it a try.

Google added an animal translator to their site so you can understand your pets, and one of the newspapers had a story that the Large Hadron Collider was to be moved to the London Underground.
