I have been looking at these two versions of this image and can't decide which I prefer. Which one do you prefer?

This one?

Congratulations - a lovely panel. I particularly like your central image.

If it is not off to service just yet...

Has the lens been tried out on a second camera body yet? That even if one doesn't own a second body then perhaps one could find another Pentax body from a friend or retail store
Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't, but have now. Unfortunately no difference, so off it goes.

Congratulations, both are really good but I'm particularly struck by No.1 - very dramatic.

I'm sure you have, but have you checked the focus limiter button?
Yep - first thing I checked.

I went to use my SP90 macro today and for all close-up shots everything was fine (I was taking the butterflies at RHS Wisley). However, when I tried to focus on something far away - I found that it wouldn't focus beyond about 15 feet. It appears as if the focus limit mechanism has stuck at the long end.

Anyone experienced this before - is there an easy fix, or should I just send it back to Tamron for repair (it's still under the extended warranty)? It's one of my favourite lenses and pin sharp.

All advice gratefully received.

Why is it that I can never see more than a single item in the Classifieds? The only thing that I can see at present is a K-50. I'm looking in 'Shop - Classifieds Ads', is this the wrong place?

Thanks for sharing a bit about your technique - that will certainly help me in my future attempts!

A really good strong set, I particularly like Nos. 1, 7, 9, & 10. The only ones that I'm not so keen on are Nos. 2 & 5 - I'm not sure quite why, but they just don't work as well for me. However, I only wish my attempts were as good!
