Welcome Roger, one of the glories of the Pentax system they do not change the lens for the sake of it, they started with excellent lens and lens system so have had no need to change the connective system although the glass has stayed ahead of field ever since.

Kind of you Stefan but not sure I believe you there simply must be something the needs adjustment, life, well my life is just not like that.

My istDS will not do that but I do take both on my K20 and find the Jpeg a bit vivid. Yes know I could change the settings but I always think it is my perception that is off not the camera.

Take my shots in RAW and find that most only seem to require a little sharpening and a tiny tweak of black in some cases, have found no need to use levels or any of the other items like contrast or brightness. Makes it a quick, crop, sharpen and finish.

However I am beginning to worry I should be getting more from my shots what should I be checking in particular to see if it would be better with some adjustment

Think it is something to do with the pattern left on the area that is beyond the DOF and is caused by the blades in the lens, I have no idea beyond this but some lens, not Pentax, seem to leave horrid hexagonal light patches behind the subject very distracting and ugly. Apart from that I do not really know what causes it or why we have it would think it is not possible to get rid all together.

Don't be too quick you sound just like me a month ago and now I am delighted, it is a lens that takes some getting used to but when you do it is nice and crisp and lovely soft backgrounds with, what is it called, quality bokeh

You have done a lot better than I did when I first had my Bigma, my shots were almost totally chuck shots. You do seem to be missing the sharp focus and I would suggest you pull back a bit to say 450 or 480 to get the best in clarity.

Of course, a tripod helps a lot as does good light and a subject that stands still, I made the mistake of first trying in December with small birds and thought there was something wrong with the lens, there wasn't it was just me.

Composition, exposure, focus - everything is in place here.

LOL, not really steady at all reckon the weight stopped all movement for a few moments before I almost dropped it

Thank you folk for your kind remarks they are very encouraging and spur me on I hope to better things.

Very pleased with this I took it at 500mm hand held - it has been severely cropped and then enlarged but I think it is still of reasonable quality - feel free to disagree your comments are always welcome.
