Hello all

Afternoon everyone. I've been a pentax user from buying my first SLR which was a MZ-5, had a lot of good times and views captured with that camera along with a small studio setup I used (And still have) but time and jobs move on and I had a break from photography for many years, film became largely redundant it seems and so to use the lenses I already have, and I no reason to abandon the brand, I recently bought a great condition used K110d to get back into the fray.

I have some things to check up on such as hot shoe trigger voltages and the such (my Courteney Solaflash's may be redundant!) but looking forward to having instant reviews of my pics.

Now to get a battery grip for the K110d if such as thing exists and check on the compatability of the Cobra 700af flash I have.

Cheers everyone

Welcome to the forum
There is no grip for the 110d

Use a radio trigger for your Courtenays and they will work just fine

Thankd gartmore, is a specific type best for their trigger voltages? Are these ebay type 12v ones ok?

They are all OK to use although I'm not sure what you mean by 12v, is that the trigger voltage? For light use the cheap eBay ones are fine, I keep some as a back up. Some people swear by Apurture and others Pocket Wizard. I use Bowens Pulsars.
