Matt Matic's Pentax dSLR Flash Guide
Looking forward to this guide very much, one point not everyone has a paypal account? unless one can pay you via Paypal with out an account.
Therefore a address to send a CHQ, or P/order to maybe.
As far as I am aware anyone can make a PayPal payment with a credit card.

If you're looking for my mood, it is firstly one of hope for your health!
Secondly one of anticipation for your pdf file.
(Fingers poised over PayPal keys).
All the Best from Canada!

One thing I will add to the PDF is a small bug that seems to be in all Pentax dSLRs with flash. (I'll post it here as well in a minute!)

Many thanks. I'll settle down to read it soon.

Keep your words soft and nice in case you have to eat them.
All done with P-TTL. I'll use manual next time . . . when Matt's taught me how .
Note to Matt: When you've sold a couple hundred thousand copies, come and live in the sunshine.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

The first flurry of orders have all been responded to You should have enough to digest for a little while.
I'll be keeping your email addresses in case I ever add images and illustrations... time & health willing

Going to make a paypal account specially for you
I've readed the other comments and not everyone can make a paypal account because they have excluded some countries so there might be an unlucky few that might not be able to make one
Hope you get better soon, all the best.
Have been dabbling with flash recently, so I eagerly wait for this.
Have gotten pretty useful stuff from your website as well.
Cheers

The manual is well written and the layout is professional. Having just had time to scan quickly through, I look forward to reading in more detail.
As you obviously are aware of, photo illustrations would enhance the manual. So I hope for a Second Edition when/if time/health permits.
Oh, by the way, the K200D also supports Wireless Flash using the pop-up as a controller. The manual only mentions the K10/K20.

Love the format - the post can't bugger this up!
Cheers Matt and GET BETTER!

Just a note to say that I'm getting to the end of the text for the dSLR Flash Guide
Unfortunately, it's not looking as though my health and time restraints will let me fill this document with images So, I thought I'd send out this "feeler" to see what the current mood is...
The document will be provided as a PDF. It's currently 28 pages long (including 3 pages of cover & contents). Main topics are:
* Flash Modes Explained (M, A, TTL, P-TTL, Wireless P-TTL)
* Flash Compatibility with Pentax dSLRs
* Situations:
- Function or Party
- Play or Concert
- Portrait with a black background
- Portrait with a white background
- Daylight fill-in flash (P-TTL and A mode)
* Problem situations
* Light modifiers
* Pentax AF360/540 flashguns (modes and tricks)
* Metz 50MZ5
* Lastly some info on useful custom functions for K20D/K10D, *ist-DS, and *ist-D
I was thinking of making this payable via PayPal (with a link from my www.mattmatic.co.uk website). Given that there are no images, I was thinking of £4.95 (although larger donations would be acceptable of course )
I'm open to suggestions of anything I've missed. Now some of the information is probably already known by you all, but there should be a few gems of information contained in the PDF
Let me know
Matt
