Very interesting and well taken shots.

Just imagine how much it would cost to have a door
sealed off with solid slate

The image vault is off the link you gave. It contains
pics of all the cameras. I've got "Exif Viewer" addon in
Firefox and when I right clicked on a photo the only
details it had was the size which was 2385x1870. They
may not all be the same but they are high quality.

Click where it says "Click to Visit the Press Image Vault"

I'm surprised that you have all missed that it's the TOP of
the APS-C/1.3 Rankings

The shutter speeds are almost spot-on... the best
I've seen on DxO

Which rated the ironing board a "BEST BUY" as well

No more ironing board jokes from me

Well sadly there isn't a 'New Ironing Boards Section'

The one's I've got Matt are specifically for Pentax. See thread I gave above for note about snipping the wire on the Nikon version.

I don't think they wake up Pentax. I only fire a small flash with them which then triggers the photocells on two Bowens Monolights and sometimes a Minolta and Sunpak flash. Seem about 98% safe at 1/125th. I would expect the Mk2 to have sorted the timing out to allow 1/180th.

1/125th isn't a problem indoors.

Some reports suggest that the Nikon version on Pentax
works at 1/180th.

They come with a lot of leads and top brand batteries.

I've had mine for over a year and still use the original batteries.

The transmitter hasn't got an on/off switch but the receiver has...... I keep forgetting to switch it off

It does 45 hours on 2 triple A's so cheap to run.

This one shows the different ways of using it. It does
say that it will wake the Pentax flashguns.

Just waffle to me

Some excellent 2385x1870 pics of the cameras in the image vault
though. Very high quality.
