Thanks, Bruce. I've bookmarked the page in IE. One of the things I've found is that I'm really starting to enjoy Aperture a lot. It's much more photographer focused (pun intended). It's a blast going through my dng's very quickly and easily (now that OSX finally supports the K10D). Much, much

http://www.primelensphoto.com/tulips/index.html Created right out of Aperture. The full version is a tad large (file sizewize, 600+KB), but only 900 pixels wide. Exif included. Shot with the 85mm f1.4. Not a bad web page for a built-in freebe app. I think I'll use it more often than the lame ass

What's the deal with film camera lenses and chromatic aberration on the K10D? Shooting wide open is a nightmare for me. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Is it endemic with film lenses plus the smaller sensors? It can't stricly be a function of older glass since I have seen ED IF lenses having
