Thank you, was curious how long they will last.
3 year is already quite a good number I think.

Breaking news, the Rubik's Cube is always solvable in 20 steps.
Makes me even feel worse... I remember turning those things for hours without even solving them and now they tell me it's solvable with 20 turns
Even 91.365.146.187.124.313 positions are solvable with just 15 steps

I can see it tilting but how does it shift?

Talking of waterproofing, I think the idea of a waterproof interchangeable lens evil camera with hd video is great! Especially if there's a k-mount adapter for it
And make it so you can change lenses under water

Actually I do not know if Sigma's HSM fit to Pentax DS, maybe others can help...
No they won't.
It's with the K1 series some cameras got SDM/HSM support

The problem with the flash that its range within it is capable to produce sufficient light is limited to 3 to 5 metres (depends on the circumstances).
it also depends on what lens you use and therefore which zoom setting on the flash.
With wide angle the flash beam is wider and the flash doesn't reach far but with a higher zoom setting the flash light is more focused and you can go quite far then.


To throw in another flash in the mix, the new Metz 36 AF-4 might be something for you.
The only thing is it's a very simple flash without any advance feature and it only has a full automatic mode (P-TTL) so basically you should see it as an upgrade to you build in camera flash with a tilt head though and that can be useful.
The flash is around the £69. The older flashes does offer you more feature for around the same price though but will you use that, that's something you should find out.

You don't have to use f16 all the time, Stefan. It's a standard. A benchmark, from which to calculate.
You're right but with exposure I work full on my experience and intuition which you get when you're working manually because your are more consciousness with your settings.
Only when I do have my exposure I'll resort to math to keep the exposure the same at all times when changing settings and when using flash.

The sunny 16 is just too restrictive with all the variables off weather and time to be useful I think, it's not something I would promote you should learn because I believe that getting the feeling about exposure is more important.
You for example also fall back on experience with your first comment when you talked about when it's cloudy.

That's a very hard shot to judge because it seems you have taken it in a mirror so your distance to the model is different then.
This an easier from you to examine if you don't mind link
It has a closer framing but you still only used 45mm, right in the middle of the range you mostly used. It looks very good no doubt about that and more intimate then what you get with longer lenses.
How far did you stand away from her, around the 1,5 metre maybe?
I don't think you can use a much wider angle for such a photo because you will intrude her "space" so to say and that's what I mean.

How do your models react when they notice you're standing closer to her then most other photographers, does it work positively and how close can you get before it becomes negative?

As with most, if not all cleaning products, I believe that the lollipop is way over priced; then again last year I paid £35 to get my then K100D cleaned in a camera shop, total waste of money that was.
precisely like you said.
I've an artic butterfly but that's still going strong after more then a year so that one already paid himself back.
