The flag blur is a good idea but I find the flag distracting from the main subject. There is within the shot three items to catch the eye the flag is not helpful imo, must explain that I am not sufficiently knowledgeable to make helpful technical comment on the shot but only give my impression of it. Must say it would seem you have done well in the available light, just a shame about the flag and pole.
We all like to think of things we buy as being perfect but life is not like that, whether or not it is a warranty matter would depend on if the item is suitable for the use for which it is purchased and that depends on the owner. Does the dead pixel (correctable) render the item useless or faulty to the point when it can not be used as intended? Personally I would say it does not but if you feel it does fight your case.

Have to agree with you Greytop, recently went to download a manual and it directs you to another page when you click and go you get a message that the page is no longer available and to choose from the menu on the left - there is no menu on the left.

LOL I was talking landscape in general not just pubs but they do make an attractive subject shame I no longer partake or whether or not the shots were in focus would not matter much after the first two or three.Focus on the pub sign. There are practical benefits to that as well.

Am I alone in liking the distortion sometimes shown when a shot is take with a very wide lens, we expect and accept it with a fisheye so I do not see why the distortion caused by using a wide lens can't be used as an artistic tool.
By the way I like your shots particularly the skies in 1,5 & 6.

Thank you Gentlemen, already I want to rush out and try those shots again, no one has said it they think the shots are not as sharp as they should be, I think they are soft but it may be I am used to the macro lens and not wide angle.
