Tom,

I'm stunned by the magnification you are getting. I have used a 28-80mm and a 50mm, and don't get near the levels you are achieving.

Come to think of it, he should eat his own dog food:

If he is based in the UK why does he have a .ca email address? Or am I taking this too literally?

You might want to have a mains adapter if you did a lot of studio work - or were paranoid that when you cleaned the sensor the mirror might drop while you had the brush/blower/whatever inserted!

I can almost hear the hammering from Don's workshop as he builds one for less than $200!

I use the Sandisk extreme III 2GB cards and haven't noticed any slowing of the writing speed as they fill up. I shoot RAW and a blank one shows a capacity of 121 images, but I have managed to get 180 onto a 2 GB card!

Just noticed in the latest Trail Magazine (I buy it for the enormous hillocks on page 3) a full page advert for the K10D, so it looks like Pentax UK are still putting effort into marketing their products.

Do you get better results if the flash is used off the camera? In that case reflections might not be bounced directly back to the camera? Might help in the reflective jacket situation.
