The Commlite T320-RX is about one of the best sets (at any price) and only £17.50 ish off ebay.
Syncs (no problem) at 1/180 with Pentax stuff and handles up to 300V flashes.

Takes cheap AAA batteries.

No idea Jules. They did have the 70mm very cheap...... must have sold out.

The 21mm is 10cm x 9.4cm probably cheaper off ebay....

And some people think Pentax can compete on price with Sony for a FF

Lens Rentals took the A7ii apart and then put it back together again.
Simples!!!

That's amazing... especially the SR plate.... and to think most cameras don't have one and are of a modular construction

Hi Peter,
Looks to be camera shake at about 40 deg. If they are important Focus Magic could recover quite a bit. Do it in 2 processes...
1st fix Motion Blur at 40 deg. Distance Value 4
2nd Fix Focus at a Blur Width of 3

The FREE version allows 8 goes (I think)

I'd order a longer plate as well. Comes in handy for balancing the camera forwards/backwards also for setting the nodal position for taking panos.

I haven't got one I use mostly Novoflex stuff.

This one looks good 140mm long for £14, but it's in the UK. I suspect they have contacts in China.

The company (Heather) look to stock some good stuff and have good feedback.

I wish I'd bought their panning clamp instead of one I bought from Amazon which had a thumbscrew that's hard to get a proper grip of once it's on the tripod. It was only £8 cheaper as well.
