You have to pull the focus ring to go into manual mode, but you also then select MF on the camera body to disengage the AF gears.

Doesn't seem to have affected Nikon D7000s or Sony A55s, perhaps there's something about how Pentax fitted the AA filters

A friend of mine spotted this shot of mine on flickr:

(Priory Park, Dudley)

He suggested I try a 'creative contrast technique' and emailed me a link to a simple tutorial: link

I was aware of the highlight and shadow control in PS but hadn't really looked into it properly, doing most of my adjusting in Lightroom. I think the technique provides a lot more control over the contrast of highlights and shadow areas than just the sliders in Lightroom.

Tamron 90 received with thanks Jules! I must say it feels very well made. As you say the 2 step MF>AF switching is a bit of a drag, but hopefully the focus limiter will be a benefit. Hope it's as sharp as your DFA

I have CS "zero" as well as PSE7 and I was sure I had edited RAW files with it. But I must be gettting confused between it and CS5 which we have at work. Sorry!

Yes you are right

Noticed this thread re a D7000: link

Perhaps the issue is with the Sony-supplied sensor and is there on D7000s too. Or maybe it's just a manufacturing thing that can affect any body.

She needs to be taught a lesson. Kids need to be provided with activities to reduce anti-social behaviour and childhood obesity. It's a win-win.

I managed to get my copy of it to work, until I tried to import too many files at once. I would still advise trying shooting DNG and using photoshop though, if you are used to the Photoshop set up, Andrew.
