I downloaded one image and see ISO 100 and 1/60s on a shot from some distance and on a somewhat less than bright day and scene. Hand held? I've deleted your downloaded image.
Jack Jack, My K 7 was on the tripod and since the shot you looked at was ISO 100, I know it was the K 10D with the DA 18-250. For me, that lens is soft no matter what shutter speed I shoot it at. I was using the K 10D and that lens to have a wide focal range, while I had the F 100-300 on my K 7 on the tripod. Neither of these lenses are very sharp but that is what I have for longer focal length work. Need to sell a bunch of work and make some $'s to get some good long focal length glass. Diane seems to think we need to pay the bills and eat more than buying new lenses. I had the K 7 set for expanded dynamic range so it's base ISO was at 200. I almost always shoot at low ISO's in daylight. Guess it is a holdover from the days of film. Thanks for looking and commenting Ted "The eye of the viewer becomes the eye of the Photographer."
