Are we talking about the Marc Newson pouch? Pentax reckon 300 mugs - ahem, sorry - style conscious consumers will buy this limited edition item at c$300.

Good luck to 'em! Ker-ching...

You can't zoom right in, but there certainly seems to be a great amount of detail there, especially looking at the willow leaves.

And hey - there's nothing so bad with mobile phones! Photography isn't just purely about the technical quality of the files (although most of the time, it helps!)

It's confused by the issue that lenses create PF far more noticeably. As you have suggested, newbies could do a forum search for PF and conclude that their K5 is to blame, rather than their lens, which is probably wrong in at least 99% of cases. Similar to how every dust spot suddenly became the dreaded 'sensor spots'!!

Thanks, Horst

Chromatic abberation, purple fringing, weather resistant, supersonic drive motor (a type of silent focussing motor used in some Pentax lenses), original poster (the originator of a new topic), dynamic range, exif means the image data with camera settings embedded in a jpeg or other image file.

That's a gorgeous shot, the black background really suits that vibrant pink little flower.

You should have waited until the K5 replacement was out, Stephen....

Thanks Algi, I knew I had seen some comparison images somewhere. The images were posted to show the DR of the K7 vs the K5 using the same settings, but everyone commented on the slight magenta fringing. But it is very slight, and I would not be too sure this is what is causing the OP's issue.

Great set - love the hula hoop girl with fag in mouth!

If the OP could post sample images from the K5 and K20 at the same settings with the same FA50mmm, it might shed some light on the issue.

EXIF data must be included.
- How do I get EXIF data from a P50, when it does not generate any?

Geoff, you can enter the exif data (or in your case, camera settings!) manually in the photo information form.I often have to do this even with digital pictures, if I have downloaded from Flickr and then uploaded back to the competion, and I have done it with a film picture shot on a P30 (which won the competition!)
