I didn't realize the Yongnuo guns were so cheap For a cheap system they look ideal. Changing the power by walking to the gun can be a bit of a chore if it's in a light box.

RIP Ken some good progs about him on TV last night.

He used to like go to a tog that I knew well (also no longer with us) for his publicity shots and I was told that it was 'because he knew they way his nose bent' and other togs didn't

Good photo Peter. The 80-200mm was good film lens. I found it better than the 200mm prime.

For manual use mintish Pentax AF500FTZ takes some beating.

Power settings are usually just a marketing gimmick.... they are rarely accurate. So no point in going for anything less than full stops. Buy a flash meter to check them.

Some of the smaller Pentax flash units from years ago were spot on with the power settings.

For flash triggers I like Comtrig although they are now a 5 year old design. Probably recent stuff might be better depending on your budget.

Is this the 'Two Ronnies Thread '

Nother Cameras are very good. I've had one for years!

Eric tested one of these on a NEX-3 6 years ago. Reasonable macro lens, but don't dare compare it to the Sigma 60mm ART on the same camera.

Big advantage is that it does 1:1 and is MF and is a decent price.
Lateral CA is good.

Probably just pips the Pentax-A 50mm f/2.8 which is one of my favourites along with the FA version.

You can get any Pentax lens delivered tomorrow so no problem for buyers

Also back to Ca-non the AF isn't fast enough on 50mm OK on 35mm....

This video is very informative. You don't need AF tracking or multiple focus points. You can use an f/1.2 wide open with a moving model and ONE AF point... So stop moaning and take pictures

Even the expensive £1900 Can-on 85 f1-2 has focusing problems on Can-on cameras...

The other mans grass is definitely not greener

Why would Sigma bother releasing Pentax lenses just so people could moan about them being too big and heavy etc.

They have released loads of lenses and hardly any have sold. The excellent 35mm f/1.4 Art lens is about £600, but I've never seen anyone on the forums using one
