Cheers mate - not much chance of another body any time soon, given the post-lens poorness.

Just another little add on, I own and use a D200 at work all day and though it a lovely piece of kit the canon range does appear faster when under pressure during auto focus. I am a purest when it comes to being fully manual but in some situations i couldn't mange without the servo focus setting. At a recent visit to the focus on imaging expo in Birmingham alot of talk of the auto focus seemed in the favour of canon (which makes me spew a bit as i'm fully kitted to nikon).  As for raw capture Hell yeah!! Use it!! Shootin in jpeg's like buying a porsche and stickin a metro engine it and expecting the same results.
One freeby i got from focus that's worth trying ids the Capture 1 software. A funtional piece that works quite well. Check their website.

I've recently downloaded rawshooter essentials and have had mixed results, at 100% with no sharpening etc... some detailed areas of pictures look like they are pixellated or the squares you get in jpeg compressed (they aren't), hard to explain, but there is definately something weird and a lack of detail.
100% crop


Also one picture taken with a polarising filter, looks odd, like I have edited it in photoshop even processed with no adjustments bt processed through a different program it looks fine. There is almost a highlight to the trees which wasn't there, and alos a lot of noise in the sky which should not be there (it isn't in a camera processed jpeg or raw through a different program.)
100% crop



Anyone explain either of those?



was the sun behind the trees? Causeing an almost specular spill over the top of them. You can sometimes notice this on biuldings this time of year in the morning. A kind of halo effect sorrounding the edge of object.
