Have you noticed, all the guests at a wedding who have taken a camera along tend to get at least one photo where 'That Hat' intrudes into the shot. Why don't you see it until after the click?

Unless you have other serious issues with your Windows installation, your imaging problem is not a good reason to do a complete reload.

I believe my computer, at least the brower, was 'hacked' as any web page I opened was littered with those dreadful key word popping up adverts for sites I have no interest in. That made me think perhaps it has been more than that. The first thing I'll try in unistall all the imaging software and do a full re-install of that and see how it goes. Thanks for your interest in my problems.

They missed the language of self assembley furniture. I always thought it was jibberlish.

no reason to change post crop vignette in ACR I have this set to zero now so fingers crossed

Are you saying it was not set to zero?

Yes, when I looked it wasn't zero. I've no idea why these were set the way they were as I've never fiddled with setting. I tend to use the defaults.

Took a couple of jpegs and raw files this morning and opened them on the main pc. All seemed as it should. So it seems to be a software problem on the laptop. I don't think there are any files I need on there so time for a full restore I think. Bloody windows (h)8

In camera, there is a digital filter setting > Custom filter > Shading Level. If this is set to a negative figure you will get black vignetting. A positive number gives white vignetting.

Thanks Peter, another setting I wasn't aware of. I'm wondering now if the manual for the K5 mk 1 is very different to the K5IIs, I've downloaded the PDF version but not read much of it yet. As said earlier will be shooting in the garden tomorrow.

The Pentax 17-70 is terrible for vignetting with a 85mm filter holder such as the Cokin P type

I understand that David and had already said I wasn't surprised at 17 to 20mm, but, it doesn't explain the same degree of vignette with the holder and filters not being used. Also there was the same vignette using the 55-100mm which I'd never experienced with the K5 mk1 or the K7. I'm hoping it is the software settings although I don't recall this problem and would have no reason to change post crop vignette in ACR I have this set to zero now so fingers crossed

Very good images Steve well done

I'll try that next Alan although I have been led to believe it's best to shoot in raw.
I've only had this camera 5 mins and one of the lenses the (17-70mm) but am slightly disappointed in both up to now.
I don't use the 55-300mm much but images with that improved when using it with no uv filter.

I'll wait until daylight tomorrow before trying again in the garden, natural light and lots of fixed targets

Almost sorted. Found a 'post crop vignetting' setting in ACR and set everything to zero. There is still a slight vignette which I've wouldn't think was 'normal' as the images with the K5 mk 1 doesn't show this. Perhaps its a lens thing although I've not noticed this on the 55-300mm before. I'll take a couple more with the 17-70mm 55-300mm and the 18-135mm which I haven't tried yet.
