One magazine makes me laugh - it has a feature section, sponsored by Pentax no less, but never featuring any Pentax photos.

If we don't submit shots to those things, we can't really criticise though. Have you sent some in, Gwyn?

I'll buy it Bob.

PM sent.

This is my suggested crop, Smutje... positions the Robin slightly to the right. so he has space to look or fly into! I haven't been able to sharpen the shot but I have tweaked the levels slightly. link

If there's a problem with focus / dof, sharpening can only take you so far. Programs like FocusMagic can take you a little further.

You have cropped too much there IMO. I would keep the aspect ratio of the shot too.

Try sharpening in PS after exporting from RAW (and after resizing to print or web size). Use 'Unsharp Mask' as it gives you plenty of control and best results. It is a great shot and doesn't look soft (although that may be due to Flickr's in-built image processing).

Nice set. I really like 'Caught on Camera'.

I went on a photowalk once, but only one other guy turned up and it was one of the most awkward days of my life. Particularly when he started shooting attractive girls with his telephoto and an angry boyfriend came over and threatened to smash his camera! Glad you had a better time!

I was thinking about buying K20D due 14.6mpx and ISO6400 Unfortunatelly has 2.8fps only which makes me little bit sad. I know if I want fast fps then K7 or K5 be great, all good but apart of body I want to buy some nice lenses, some wide-anlge like Sigma 10-20, possible Pentax 16-45 (all round lens) or Pentax 17-70.

If you need higher fps and usable ISO6400, the K-x would be worth considering, as it performs better than the K20D in those areas. The K-r is better still. But I'm sure the K20D is a better 'photographic tool' if low light and action aren't top priorities.

how is that possible that my Pentax been producing much better photos with really cheap lenses and C with 2.8 zoom gives really bad quality?

The 50/1.7 was always going to outperform a zoom, Canon's top zooms might give it a run for its money (at a massive cost), but 50mm primes are known for being sharp, and the Pentax f1.7 is one of the better ones.

You got a real bargain there! Well done, and welcome.

K-x is a so-called entry level camera but the image quality is right up there.

Oh my that's cute, especially the shot of mum tenderly picking baby's nose!
