I used .7 to .9 as a standard with my Pentax photos, it seemed to suit the AA 
filter in the DS and K10D bodies well, and worked well with the 'average 
detailing' of the subjects I was shooting. With some of the more recent cameras 
and my current lenses, with very light to no AA filter, I am often finding I 
don't use any sharpening at all. 

Press the Option (Alt) key when clicking on the radius adjustment and you'll 
see the effect on the photo as you slide the control from minimum to maximum. 
That's how I came up with the setting.
