Spots on My Shots

Hello Again,I succumbed and took the camera in to the Sydney Pentax dealer with a couple of 'photo's of my dust problem,and it seems at least one or two if not more are pixel problems.Not so bad after 4 months.So I must use film for a couple of weeks(sigh...) whilst they (hopefully)fix

Garbage. The "generic" photo is the blurred, lack-of-detail car, typical of the kind of shot that is produced by people who don't know how to do better. If you want to blur the car, then blur it. But if you're trying to get it sharp (which is the purpose of trying to pan with it), then get it sh
