from adorama..

but optical slaves should work...
Don, thank you very much for that. I will get a couple of those.

My flashes have incorporated optical slaves, but I just wanted to make sure that when the slaves fire do they technically fire at the same time? Is there no delay at all from the slaves?

Just wanted to make sure that the duration is precisely similar to the main one if I set them up for the same duration.

thanks

Amin

How about your friend that works at Heathrow
Mike, shall we make a list then of anyone interested in the GX20?

Then I can contact him again,

you get more flash power by adding more flashes... 4 flash units are better than 1!
That's precisely my idea. I have been wanting to do this for quite some time but do not know how to go along. I have two flashes and was looking to get a third one, but then how do I link all three so when one fires all the others also do?

I know how to do this by slaving the other two, but doesn't this prolong the time that the slave flashes remain lit?

I was kind of thinking that there might be a way of linking with cable or something like that so that when I fire the main flash all together come on at the same time

Thanks Peter and Stefan

How do you think I managed to capture this one?

That was the function I used. In the sigma menu its called "multi flash".

But I really could do with a more powerful flashgun that could go up to 1/128, any ideas?

You have to admire Pentax, there is no other company I know of that would bring out a new all singing all dancing updated model and then raise the price of the older unit by 25%.

This was already expected. If you look at my comments on that thread when we had been to SRS for the open day for K7 I did mention that when I asked Chris how come the K7 was priced so high compared to K20D he said that when his stock of K20D finishes the new ones will be at half the price of the K7.
So we have been warned.

I guess the GX20 at Dixon's at the airport at £305 with the kit lens is starting to seem pretty cheap now .

So any volunteers to get hold of a few of them and sell off to any members interested?
