I'd assume it was a synch cord 5P (L) http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/flashes/index.html But I'm sure Matt or John will give you chapter and verse!

Ah well, as Dorothy Parker ought to have said "a man can never have too much hard disk space, too much RAM, too many CPU cycles, too many pixels or too many lenses"[/b]

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

I'm getting that 10MP when it's out! Just what I've been waiting for! Let's hope it comes on time and there's no "MZD-like-fiasco"
Can't wait to hear more details! EEEHHHH! I'm excited! (screaming like a little school girl)
From what has been said elsewhere, I'm not sure 10 MP will give a significantly better image than 6 MP, and then you get into noise problems(http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=14849487

I'm happy to stay with what we have until we get affordable, low-noise 30-40 MP full frame 35mm equivalent cameras.

I bought my DS a year ago while on holiday in Florida, paid in dollars what it cost in pounds in the UK then (before they discounted it)

I have no issues with the camera, it does everything I need it to, and even attracted admiring glances and comments from a couple of professional photographers carrying n*k*n and c*n*n equipment at an event I attended

Enjoy and shoot lots, it only costs you electricity!

I like a challenge, it stops me hanging around on street corners!

Try this link http://www.jeffree.co.uk/Pages/macro-lens-calcs.html The author has created a handy spreadsheet so you can just plug your numbers into it to get the magnifications etc.

I like that image Don. Here's something similar I shot with a set of extension tubes on my 50mm 1.7 FA lens http://www.ammonyte.plus.com/galleries/ExtensionTubes/images/foto1.html
It was illuminated with two 60W light bulbs and I used the tungsten white balance setting to correct. As and when I have time I'm going to work through most of my lenses and test different combinations of the three tubes and the various lenses

I also have a reversing ring, but have been to busy to play, sorry , experiment with it

Something else for George to buy perhaps?

Apologies if this site has been mentioned elsewhere, but it seems to be an excellent place to start if you are interested in Pentax K mount lenses. http://kmp.bdimitrov.de/ and covers much more than just lenses.
