Studio flash dilemma
no probs..to get you started you might want to try searching these forums....I believe that it was JR, Matt, and George, (also me) that posted some images and how to's on creating snow, in Photoshop, a couple years back... found one link (but there was a whole thread somewhere):

Extension cord + Hotshoe adapter
Thanks guys :wink: It turned out I didn't need to shrink wrap it. The Cat5 jacks I have come with a nifty back cover that locks all the wires in place. Let me know if you want any further info, Its a very easy mod though if you have the right gear. Don, you could get your robot to make one :...

Difference between wireless remote and slave?
Wireless does not mean radio. The wire-less communication is done with pulses of light. So that answers one question, no you can't use the Pentax AF360FGZ flash remotely without the onboard flash (or a wireless capable hot shoe flash) being used as a trigger unless you equip your camera with an inex...

Sunpak auto thyristor 24SR on Program A and K10D?
The flash has a small cable which I think is the pc cable (you can see pics in the classifieds section). I know I can get a optical slave trigger for a fiver but I'd rather not have to use the RTF. "Your flash will work with any Pentax camera in Manual mode." Can I mount the flash in the hot-s...

Matt Matic's Pentax dSLR Flash Guide
Matt! Got it! Am about 1/2 way through reading it and already I want to thank you for de-mystifying so much. I go back to flash bulbs and guide numbers, so your references to the good old days were very welcome - and comforting! I'm so glad you did this! Thanks very much! :D:D:D

Sigma EF 530 DG ST Flashgun
Hi I had the "super" version with my Nikon camera,Basically in performance not a lot, but with the lcd on the back you have more control overall, but for the average user some thing that is not used much.:)

Pentax AF 400t
Auto mode is where the flashgun itself computes the amount of light needed for a good exposure. There is an sensor on the front of the flashgun to do this. You will need to use the back panel of the flashgun to select the ISO that you are using on the camera. This will show you which apertures you...

What radio triggers work with the pentax 540
Thanks for your help Don but I still haven't found the problem, though I feel I,m getting closer. I have found that the transmitter will fire the flash using a sync cable to the hotshoe adapter, wich means the contacts are all ok. it also will give me a 3 flash setup I was after in manual mode. ...

pentax 540 or metz 58?
Hello all, Just got back into photography after a few years gap and last year bought a K100D with Tamron tele lens. Also got a Jessops 360 gun which I have not had very good results with.....varying degrees of exposure, mostly under to very dark result. Was speaking to someone who said that you only...

ist DL and Metz mecablitz 58 AF-1
I don't see any reason why they should not. The Metz 58AF-1 also has a TTL mode so it should work with anything back to 'A' series cameras/lenses. I use mine on my K10D and Super A. What is the problem you are having, do you have any example shots?

Flash over exposure problems.
Am I getting close? Without a flash (built in or hot shoe) the camera adjusts shutter speed to suilt aperture in Av and vice versa in Tv. This doesn't happen with a flash, in Av the shutter speed doesn't change to suit a change in apperture and aperture doesn't change to suit a change of shutter s...

Flash over exposure problems.
Well almost right but you got the idea, it depends in what mode the flash is (trailing curting, highspeed, etc.) that depends on how the camera reacts as well. you can use the flash closer if you flip out the plastic defuser screen btw :wink: If you use the AF360 in low light it use the spot-be...

540 help
Went into the magic latern book since i don't have an old lens by the hand and it said nothing with KA lenses but with K or M42 it says: "The built-in flash will always fire at full power and will rarely provide correct flash exposure, and the FGZ series flash units wil not provide the high-tech P-T...

Fill-in flash... What is your technique?
Thanks for all the advice gang. (Yeah I made you into a gang!) What I would like to be able to do is take an ambient exposure and then know for certain that my flash aperture is the same as the ambient. So I have tried on auto because pttl seems the most temperamental thing. I dial in my flash ape...
