and it can now be triggered without the camera being set as a wireless controller.
It still needs a flash to trigger it and I believe you could already set the metz 48 to dumb-slave or not?

Surely we can make a camera a little more secure than nuclear weapons?
Clinton lost nuke codes
At least he wasnt that bad as Bush

I'd like to see a software upgrade for windoze and mac that will set the time and date on the camera to match your computers clock, then check for software/firmware upgrades automatically and ask you if you want to install it....
Too bad they pulled the tethering support.
Maybe with the tethering program for the 645D they might build a support for the K5???

One of the biggest upgrade would probably be the engine mount of the 747 after an accident had happen where one of the motors fell off and the plane crashed in a flat here in the Netherlands.
Or maybe the windows of the Comet?

Utrecht or Haarlem (which is only 15 or so minutes away by train) make a nice diversion if you have the time to spare.
Foodwise - bittebollen, brodje bal, kroketten, kaassouffle, lekkerbek and kibbeling (last two are fish, a must on a Friday) are worth trying washed down by a tapbier (usually Heineken or Amstel, pretty good).
And indeed get tap beer don't get the dutch stuff in a bottle or can
Utrecht at the moment is actually very good for photographers as it has a special light show on. I keep meaning to go in, but want some company for it as I don't want to walk around Utrecht in the dark with an expensive camera. ]http://www.trajectumlumen.nl/?p=en
Thanks for the tip Gwyn.
I'm going to Uterecht the 28th with the Dutch Pentax group maybe we have time to explore it.
I believe the use the FA 50 f/1.4 that one peaks at f/5.6 and then gets worse.
The nikon 50mm seems to preform better at higher f-numbers.
They should have used the Sigma 30mm or 50mm and on the same f-number for the test.

Very nice feet from Pentax, hopefully it will be a success and doesn't it end up like Sony with their 135format
In studio, I suspect that the Phase would be better, but that remains a supposition. Since the Pentax does not allow a professional tethering solution, there is little danger that it will find many adopters amongst high-end commercial studio shooters. In its native habitat, however, the Pentax more than holds its own.
... hopefully they finished it soon.
