Hi Tom. What lens did you shoot with? I think the contrast and sharpness is excellent.

I just bought an old, but in good shape, Pentax screwmount Super Takumar 50mm 1:1.4 today myself. :) Taking a shot or two with it, it's quite sharp, and a great deal at $20. But getting back to your lens, Looks like a winner.

Those pictures look terrible! Send me that lens and I'll get it working for you. ;-)

Okay, actually, those are really cute pics. I have the same flash and all my similar shots turn out this way as well - no lighting in the back. I'm considering a flash upgrade as well, so I'm interested in hearing what other people think about it. But regardless of the flash, you're definitely going to be happy with new lens. Congrats!
