Hi Bob,
I'm not sure about that one. I looked at it at 400%, and it's not as
round and uniform as the other drop. What's more, it's right on the
headlight ring, which does show another specular highlight. Might be a
drip, might be a highlight. We'll probably never know. Just another
example of life's great mysteries <vbg>.

Paul,
Look for another drop below the 1st, just above the auto head lamp.

Thanks David. I have to admit I never saw the drip. If I noticed it at
all, I must have assumed it was a highlight on the hood of the car.
I think any Pentax lens, save perhaps J or Takumar-K series lenses,
can
deliver at least very good results. I believe the exceptions we see
are
either due to damaged equipment or operator error. I could be wrong,
but that's what I believe.

For all those with an interest in the DA 50-200, here's a 200%
detail
from the girl with two ice creams shot. I think it was Denny who
said
he saw a drip. Bingo! He get's the eagle eye award. I think the
sharpness is good for this large a magnification. There's a bit of
CA
where the straw dontrasts with the hood of the car, but that's an
extreme example. I didn't see any CA in other areas. In any case,
the
detail version is here:

Woo Hoo. I was right. I often miss small details but I picked that
one.
The sharpness is very good. But you've manage to do impressive things
with the 80-320. ;-)
Someone else asked to see a wide open shot. This one is at 5.6,
1/1500th, ISO 400. By coincidence it happens to be another young
lady.
And no, I didn't chicken out and shoot her going away. I got her on
the
approach as well (she smiled). But I like this shot better:

As John Travolta said in Face Off, " I hate to see you go, but I love
to watch you leave"
very nice Paul.
