Re: OT: more testing
No matter what else your problems I like the phrase "I'm a fugitive from the law of averages." I really thing that's a MAEK!

Re: OT: more testing
No, I was apologizing for the flurry of test posts. I was on the phone with them for 4 hours. They kept trying to fob me off with WebMail; that if I could send & receive webmail I couldn't be having any problems with the SMTP server.

Re: K10D focusing quirk--more testing necessary
I've had many nice photos from the K10D/16-45 combo. So, this evening, I used Lightroom to show me all of my photos taken with the K10D at f/4. Of the several hundred such photos, there were maybe 50 or so that could be informative on focus accuracy (e.g., not scenics, and not a receding row of items without a clear single photo point). Of them, none exhibited back-focus except the "Loving Chimps" shot and the test pics I took the other night. So, I'm going to (1) not worry, (2) do a few formal tests with the target I just printed out, and (3) then avoid further pixel-peeping. Rick Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
