high speed flash triggers
But another nice thing about an HSS approach is about portability and convenience ... Only needs one stand for the flash and powersnoot ... No need for a tripod due to low light (or filter induced) long shutter times, and you can move around framing shots quickly with ease. (just be careful not to...

Outdoor Portraits in sunlight and shade
You could do that, but you'll be p....ing into the wind as far as flash power goes. After 1/2000th there's very little left from a single hot shoe type flash. You could look to a double adaptor that will hold two flashes together .... Ideally this should be with a large modifier for softer light. ...

Metz 15 MS-1
Hi Royd, Have had it for quite a few years, first with K5iis and now with KP, used it with a Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro, and now with a new Pentax SMC 100mm F2.8 DFA WR (with a 49mm stepup ring). Works fairly well with PTTL using the camera's built-in flash as a Controller. I don't bother with the cli...

Metz 15 MS-1
Hi Roy, I'd suggest downloading the Manual from the Metz site. It's in a zillion languages, and English is in about the middle. Best bet is to set it up to the Pentax setup and try that. Unit supports various manufacturer's as standard. If that doesn't work for you try Manual with the Sync-cable. M...

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
Hello all! I recently purchased the AF160FC ring flash to compliment my Pentax 100mm f/2.8 macro lens for use in a dental setting. However, since the ring flash is extremely hard to find, I purchased it from the Japanese marketplace. Once it arrived, it realized that it was missing the adaptor ri...

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
If you can work out the dimensions you may be able to fashion your own using a 49mm filter and some plastic. A 3d printer might help too.

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
The AF-160 to D-FA 100mm Macro lens adapter does not attach to the 49mm filter thread, it attaches in the same way as the lens hood.

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
If all else fails and you have to turn to SRB for help, this is an image of the adaptor taken on my tablet As you can see, there is a lip at the front 2mm high. The groove between the lip and the rest of the body is 3mm. The depth of the whole unit is 8mm excluding the filter thread Hopefull...

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
The Pentax ring flash adapter for the 100mm macro lens is like a deep hood which attaches to the body and not the filter thread. As the front element of the lens moves quite a distance when focusing I guess having the weight of the flash on the moving part would otherwise be detrimental to the lens,...

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
Thank you everyone for the photos. Does anyone have either the bulky adaptor or the adaptors that screw into the filter threads? I am in desperation mode at this point :(

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
Right, it's time for some lateral thinking... A 58mm filter fits snuggly into the ring flash and the flash does a fair job of gripping the filter thread (just tried it). So perhaps a few step-up, step-down and reversing rings connected in appropriate order would be able to simulate the 49mm adapt...

AF160FC Ring Flash: In need of adaptor!
How about foam draught excluder available from Wilko, Screwfix etc. A layer wrapped around the lens (or better still filter) should provide a firm grip. It will be a bit trial and error, but might be a short term solution.

Pentax 67 bayonet mount filters question
Hello all, I am a newcomer to the Pentax 67II and am baffled at the bayonet filter mount on lenses such as the 82mm. Presumably Pentax make filters for lenses such as this? Ideally of course I would like to get one big polariser (i.e. 95mm) and use step-down rings to use it with my various lenses...

Pentax 67 bayonet mount filters question
I wasn't too clear in my post above...what I meant to say at the beginning was the 82mm filter for the 45mm lens. Thanks, James

Pentax 67 bayonet mount filters question
According to the pentax price list on this web site the 45mm 67 lens does indeed take 82mm filters, and a selection of these is also given. Thinking of the lenses that my ADAPS firend Len Hudson uses I thought this lens took screw type filters. Is the bayonet fitting not for a lens hood to be attach...

Pentax 67 bayonet mount filters question
I've had a 45mm for my 67 for around 10 years, and have had no problem using standard filters. I bought a secondhand bayonet skylight for my 105mm some time ago - it's fine, as you'd expect a genuine Pentax filter to be - but apart from speed, it offers no advantage. And it can't be used with a s...

Pentax 645n Vs Canon EOS 10D
Graham, What you say about pixels and dimensions is technically correct, but in practice it's not that simple :) The 300dpi is for photographic quality. That is to say, if you use that resolution you will produce a very fine quality and finely detailed image. Printing a 6x4 at 150dpi is accept...
