Thanks Daniel I thought that might be the case re the size of the files. My main concern is the lens is sharp just loaded the pic's from my comp as is without any work on them. I will have to give the sensor a clean as you say thanks for the help.

Thanks Mike Im not sure if this lens is as sharp as it should be I need to get out with it more and shoot a few more frames.

I'm never quite sure what people mean by untouched.
If it's JPEG in camera it's hard sharpening.
If it's RAW in camera then something has made it a JPEG so it would be helpful to know if it's Silky with it's immediate sharpening or Photoshop which probably doesn't sharpen.
I'm not sure it matters anyway. Surely you should test to see if your usual routine produces sharp images.
What I will say is that I wasbothered by the infinity focus until I learnt how to get a relaible focus with this lens which I now find to be really quite sharp.
For the little it's worth I'd expect the above to look sharper but that's beacuse I'd use Silky by default and then probably mess with the settings a bit!

Hi Mike what I meen by untouched was nothing done to the pic in photoshop or any other programe just as is.I'm never quite sure what people mean by untouched.

I have the k100 D I am very happy with the camera overall but find if I am not very careful when framing uprights such as corner of buildings or posts then there is a tendency for them to come out leaning to one side in the image. Also you need to be careful when shooting the sea against the sky line as this also tends to look odd if care is not taken to get the line dead plumb. I know this question has been asked before on other forums but thought I would throw it into the pot and see if anyone here had this problem.
