Mike: My monitor doesn't work too well since I sprayed it with fly-killer. I've passed you name to my insurance company.

GX10 now sold.

Price of Pentax A 35-105 now £75 including postage. Anything less than that and I'd rather keep it. Splendid piece of glass.

Additional lens for sale: Pentax-M 135mm f3.5. Excellent condition. One of the spring catches missing on the lens cap.

Embolden is/was the typesetting term used on both sides of the Atlantic. Folk nowadays tend to say "bolded". These are same people who use "cap up" for capitalize, ignoring the fact that capitalization can go only one way -- and that's up. Pedantry is clearly out of place in this forum, so apologies for straying from the normal protocol. For what it's worth, I've never had a problem with the Add Comment/Preview Comment options.

On second thoughts, if the pop-up flash doesn't emit visible light, the camera won't be able to calculate the exposure information it needs to pass on to the 360. More to this problem than meets the eye. Oh well

Al

As an experiment, it might be worth taping an infrared filter over the pop-up flash to see what happens. I seem to remember that slave flashes are generally triggered by IR rather than visible light, so this set-up might trigger the 360 without upsetting your lighting. You can buy sheet filter material through this link and presumably at many other outlets: link

Best of luck

Hi, Niklas,

On the GX20, the P settings appear on the top-plate LCD when it's set up as you describe. The green button returns them to the standard settings. I assume it's the same on the K20D.

Hope this helps.

This thread reminded me that I bought a pack of HD625 1.35V mercury cells a couple of years ago for a Yachica Minister rangefinder. I have two new ones left and, if anyone has a use for them, I'd be happy to pop them in an envelope. I think they came from the US originally.

When the subjects are on the same plane, you have the perfect opportunity to use the lens at its "sharpest" aperture, f8 or whatever, because DOF will not be an issue unless you're very close to the subject. As George says, where you want to achieve focus on subjects at difference distances, experimentation is the way forward. The idea of focusing 1/3 of the way into the main scene is based on the fact that DOF is twice as great behind the point of focus as it is in front of it (if I remember correctly).
