It annoys me when people spell my name incorrectly and Well Done on the win Barrie

Thanks for your interest Bill. I haven't been into that side of the camera. I did a 'factory reset' and set a couple of things the same as my K5 mk1 eg Natural and didn't touch anything else. WB is on Auto.

Will check CS5 feathering vignetting but as far as I know I've only ever used the crop tool to crop never set anything else on that, didn't know I could

I've just taken some test images in the house so will see how they look, fingers crossed.

Thanks John K. That is what I'm wondering now as I've just looked at the images on the camera screen and they look ok. I have another computer so will load the images on to there and see what they look like. Where do I find the vignette feature in CS5? I've only added a vignette to images using Topaz software. , Just a thought, I'll try opening them up in Lightroom too.

Thanks John. I only took 3 or 4 images with the lens hood, supplied with the lens, PH-RBM 67mm, attached with the 17-70mm, at diffferent focal lengths, all showing the same degree of vignetting.
The images I took with the 55-300mm and using the lens hood PH-RBG 58mm as supplied with the lens. Never had this problem with the K5 mk1 so don't think it's the lens. The puzzle is it's the same degree of vignetting on every image.

Took a few images today using a Pentax 17-70mm and "P" type filters so can perhaps understand a bit of a vingnette on those at 17-20mm.
Problem is this vingnette has appeared on all my images with no filters or holders on the lens just the pentax lens hood.

Examples: Please note these are not very good as I'm new to this camera K5IIs. and lens The images have been converted to jpeg and resized in CS5


55-300@98mm f/10 1/400 ISO 100 no filters or holder attached just pentax lens hood







17-70@48mm f/4 1/1000 ISO 80 no filters or holder attached just pentax lens hood



I hope some can help with this. Thanks in anticipation.

I only saw the final score. Didn't watch the match.

So what they are is a PITA

What on earth happened to the New Zealand rugby team today?

Everything is back to normal. No idea why it happened or why it only targetted pentax in particular, forum pages and email box. No idea how it sorted it's self out either : Will have to watch out in case I suddenly get $20,000,000 in my bank account. I've had several emails lately from barclays saying transfer successfull and from DHL regarding parcels, obviously deleted without opening
All virus scans etc show no problems

What ever it was it seemed to target Pentax User in as much as it disabled the message filter in Thunderbird email programme. I have a mailbox "Photography" with sub folders for various forums etc. This morning a message on screen said pentaxuser folder could not be found so message filters for this folder will be disabled, I still received the emails except they stayed in the Inbox. As far as I'm aware this is the only folder affected. Have reset it and all seems ok.

I only use my mobile as a machine for sending/receiving texts
