Suggested Flashguns for K-x
I am not sure yet. I got mixed results some over-exposed and looking rather pasty. I have not had the chance to look at the photos on a computer screen yet and I am still learning to control the camera and the flash. What do you do without the stofen? Do you bounce your flash without any sort of...

Suggested Flashguns for K-x
I had the camera on portrait mode. Looking at the properties of one of the pictures, it was f4.5 1/80 120mm ISO1600! - Don't know why it set itself to such a high ISO - may be the answer is in that somehow. I took it in a room with big windows with a reasonable amount of daylight coming in. I put...

Silly Flash. Stop it!
Can someone let me know whether or not I am actually crazy? It seems as though you cannot use a flash such as the AF540 in manual mode while attached to a body such as my K7. If you try, it just reverts itself back to TTL. It was very dark in the restaraunt I was shooting in last night. I was...

AF-200s
Depends on what Metz you've. What I mean is all pentax flashes work on pentax camera is that the trigger voltage are safe, with some older flashes the trigger voltage can be 200+ and it's the question if the camera likes that or not. The standard voltage for the hotshoe is 24v and I believe most pe...

AF-200s
Have a lot of fun Whelmed. I see the flash simply use the hotshoe as the trigger and the cord is pretty long, you could and should do off camera work with it. Just take the camera in one hand and the flash in the other and shoot like that, it might be hard to manual focus though but your light wou...

K10d + Metz 48 remote underexposure
Stefan, thanks yes it all works as you describe it. Gareth, some thing is not right at all, whether it is on the camera or not the following applies. If the camera set under 400 ISO it produces a weak flash and low range on the screen.at 400 or higher the range on the display starts to match the ...

Flash required for theatre work
Well it's another dimension in photography. Normally you're at the mercy of the sun but now you can control the sun. here this what I mean with the flash light I hope you see a difference in this: Direct flash at his worst though, it would be a bit better on stage :? With umbrella and ...

Flash required for theatre work
Robbie, if you mean with a diffuser those plastic thing then no. Those small plastic things make light softer most of the time by throwing the light out in all direction and relying on walls and ceilings to reflect light back, in big rooms like a stage or outdoors those things are pretty useless....

ah sorry :? Here it is http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/flashes/AF/index.html the 280t is on the first link though. Basically what's important is the guidenumber because that's your flash power and how many steps of manual adjustments you've. The 280 is the more powerful one if you don't zoom the fl...

Flash required for theatre work
I realise this was a while ago (and you may have solved it by now) but a couple of things I've found: You don't need a flash. I've taken shots of productions using just stage lighting with the white balance set to Tungsten, they come out looking like shots of a stage show in progress rather than ...

Something cheap, to get me started
Hi, although I prefer to use natural light when I can, there are times when I can't and the pop up flash on my K100d is not powerful enough. Examples are award ceremonies inside [fluorescent] and outside [poorly lit]. Just a few meters from the subject. I thought I was being clever and got a very...

Studio flash setup
They are big windows and two acts like doors to the back garden, have no idea how you call it. The sun shines through them the whole day but I can use a sun-screen and curtains to adapt the light. By the looks of it, it's going to be mildly cloudy which would be perfect I believe to soften and l...

Studio flash setup
Hi Stefan Use the window, its the softest and most flattering light. Get the reflector to the side to fill in, don't put them square on to the window, otherwise 1) YOU will be in front of the light 2) you won't have any definition on the shadows to make them stand out. When the light gets too...
