Just to clarify, I meant top right as the image is presented, actually top left of the properly viewed image. At 70mm/f4 it is much worse. Can't be bothered to download any of the other images. Most of the problem @70mm seems to be due to tester hyperexcitement. Always thought of the Japanese as rather more phlegmatic than that. - Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: DA 17-70 f4 pics
Bill, I don't see what you mean. The plane of focus is along the rope and the bell-shaped thingies, and considering the difference in lighting they don't look significantly sharper on one side or the other. The lower corners are well behind the plane of focus, and the strings of colorful oval things stretch diagonally away from the camera. In short, looks okay to me.

The EXIF says it was shot at 17mm at f/7.1, so I doubt if it's going to get any better by stopping down more. The bottom left seems particularly bad. Does it get better at longer focal lengths or does it stay crappy? If this is typical of this lens, it is unusable.
