I expect this topic was beaten to death years ago so please just point me to the thread but what uses do you find for the multiple exposure feature in a K10 other than waterfalls , fountains, infact any thing that is static but has water flowing through?
I tried a series with vehicles passing on a road side but they are all ghostlike,is it psibble to get a solid image multiples? outside of using PS?

I have just bought a s/h Sigma EF-430ST [PA] flash to use with My K10d.
Has any one used this combination and got it to work? It is with the PA designation for Pentax but I can't get it to work, or more correctly get it to work correctly.
it does not always trigger and has numbers that illuminate across the back 28-35-50-70-90 this occasionally changes from the 28 to the 50 but I have no idea why or what it is tying to do/show?
Help any one please , I'm sure the flash is OK it's just a setting thing, no manual and can't find one on line.

Hi Alistair,

I know you have bought a Manfroto rail, but I have a Pentax bellows and SNC Pentax Bellows 1.4 100mm lens combination looking for a good home if they are of interest ? The lens also has it's own Pentax fabric case with a belt loop. All are in very good clean condition, pretty much mint.

Send me a PM if you'd like photo's or wish to make an offer.

Thanks,

Steve
Steve not at the moment purely due to pre Christmas finances being a bit stretched shall we say!!!
however in the new year i will send you a PM about it.
please send a photo however as I am bit in the dark re bellows and their lenses. Can the lens be used on a camera direct or is purely for the bellows?

Macro focussing rails seem to be very rare nowadays. Novoflex is a good one, as is Pentax.

Have you considered using a bellows unit which incorporates a macro focussing rail? They are readily available from auction sites in either M42 or PK mount usually very cheaply.
thanks for that I'v bought a manfroto one from amazon.
still looking for a 100mm prime m or a not new af types.

Can some one please explain what is the difference about lightroom?
I have a very old version 6 photo shop which I hardly use these days and elements v7.And if I process raw I use raw therapee.
what is lightroom going to allow me to do with digital images that the other programs will not?

I can can't see how you do it on Pentax user forums for the life of me

Has any one any recommendation for software that will assist with the creation of your own photo album page?
I am not talking about 3rd party web sites like Flikr - zenfolio etc but software that allows you to :-
a] build album pages with thumb nail view and large image view
b] shows exif data so you don't have to add it to every photo as a title
c] allows down loads only to those with permission
to add to your own website.
I have found and tried web picture creator [ very basic] not enough features
and webeasy photo gallery which also works but you have to tell every photo individually to shop exif data which is also a time waster. it does upload whole directories containing image files which is great but not great.
any suggestions any one?
Alistair
