Wireless Flash, how does it work?
OK George, got it now, at first I wondered how the camera knew the 360 had gathered the relevant pre-exposure info and relayed it back, but that is obviously done with the camera metering at what your pointing at...(it saw the flash burst DOH!) I came to this conclusion after reading your reply ...

Ebay.. cheap AF360FGZ.. I think!
It's here.. :D :D WOW.. it's a bit different to my old AF200.. :P I've been taking a few shots around the house, and it's brilliant. Obviously using a flash is done in lower light than normal. With my DL, the pop-up flash is OK, but the AF does tend to hunt a bit, unless you focus on an...

Ebay.. cheap AF360FGZ.. I think!
You're right George How can it be cheaper to fly to New York, buy a K10D then fly back than to buy it over here. I notice that in Hong Kong they are now offering to ship nice new shiny kit to the UK, we pay the duty on delivery, send them the bill and within 1 day they have refunded the duty (...

AF 140C Ring Flash wanted
It is however possible to achieve this 'look' with the AF140C because you can choose which of the 2 pairs of flash tubes to use. There is a switch on the back of the ringflash to choose left, right, or both pairs of tubes. If one chooses to use only the left pair, shadows appear on the right of t...

issue with AF360FGZ
I've noticed that a number of people have had issues with the AF360FGZ and I'm wondering if mine needs to be sent back. I'm using it along with the K10D...it seems to be working fine but the effective flash range indicator does not appear on the LCD. This is the case in every mode. Anyone ha...

Confused with PTTL v.s. Auto v.s. Manual v.s wire-less flash
OK, let me know if I gots this right or if I'm way off... I don't know if wire-less really matters in these scenarios, but it seems more important with wireless than when the flash is mounted on the camera... Anyway, I believe, P-TTL is close to TTL where the camera in some way senses the light ...

Confused with PTTL v.s. Auto v.s. Manual v.s wire-less flash
Yeah, I have been using the dumb flash as a trigger. It helps eliminate delay from pre-flashes as well. (helps with animals that get freaked a bit more). I was hoping to put that away for the moment, but I guess I'll go back that. Just seemed odd, than all manual setup wouldnt work as "expec...

Slight issue with flash on K10D
Just got back from my trip where I discovered a flaw with the Flash on the K10D :cry: If you put the camera in AF-C mode the pre-flash for focusing will not work with either the in-built flash or the AF-360 Anoying as it took me an age to work out why I was getting in-correct exposure and out...

Vivitar 550 FD and *ist DL
I have a Vivitar 550 FD which I use on a Pentax MX and would like to know whether it is possible to use it on the *ist DL. I know it will not operate in P-TTL mode but I am concerned whether its use will damage the DL. My local camera shop says don't use it. A search on the internet suggests that it...

SIGMA EF 500 DG ST/Super
vivitar 285, 283 series....every manufacturer should copy.....little battery clips are a godsend when you need a fast battery swap, in the dark. Dom - the 283 - do you use them in auto or full-manual ode? I have a couple 283's and remote sensor cables I used to use for portraits (weddings, etc.) I...

Non-Pentax off-camera flashes with K100D?
Hi George and Dan Many thanks for the replies. George, yes thanks a lot, I didn’t know that all it boils down is measuring the voltage across the terminals of the hot shoe adapter, and if it’s high it’s risky, and if it’s low it’s fine. However, how low is low enough for this camera? I used my...

Which flashgun
vivitar has brought back the 285hv. Best bang for the buck, with several "Auto" modes and several manual modes. does not offer ttl, pttl, or any other camera control, but for decades this unit has been the wedding photographers weapon of choice for cheap, controllable, powerful light.

Is PTTL worthless?
I'll double check this with my AF360 and AF540... but bear this in mind: You may be hitting the minimum distance for the flash. The external guns are 3x and 5x more powerful than the popup. Now you might think they can "throttle down" to nothing, but that's not the case. I reckon what'...

You may be hitting the minimum distance for the flash. The external guns are 3x and 5x more powerful than the popup. Now you might think they can "throttle down" to nothing, but that's not the case. I reckon what's happening is this: preflash fires, camera says to itself "whoa that's...

Is PTTL worthless?
I do know that reflective strips on kids coats are a real, 100% certified nightmare for P-TTL and TTL flash Ah thank you Matt, you've just explained why some shots I took a while back were seriously and mysteriously underexposed. :D
