At least we know where the DFA has his genes from

It could be they improved the way the light hit the sensor, I believe they said the DFA was optimized for digital. Digital sensor like to have the light fall on the sensor as straight as possible.

Don't know Bret script can mean so many things, he could be talking about the plugins.
What's ABP?

Indeed John seems like they upgraded the FA design a bit. The basis looks the same with some variation and the diaphragm blades are placed differently but we can also wander how accurate the drawings are.
At least it's close enough to say something, at least the diaphragm is placed further back with the DFA.

Yeah I think so, because the UK is part of the EU they need to acknowledge the copyright of other countries (unlike China) so I don't see a way how the UK government can grand you permission to violate copyright.

Besides that most photos are under an account name so I don't think you should worry too much. They aren't able to steal from flickr and sites like that.

I think Eneloops retain 80% or so after 1 year (if unused of course)
Yes that's right but it does not hold his max capacity very well (neither does normall NIMH) but it flattens off to almost a flat line after a month.
When you look up some tests eneloops are around 75% after 6 months and hold that charge for almost the end of the year. Normal NIHM are at 20% or lower after 6 months but for the first 3 weeks the extra capacity of the normal NIMH is enough to give them the edge. after that the Eneloops are better.

Depends on your usage really.

If you're going to be using a flash very heavily in a single session, go for the highest capacity you can find.

If you're going to use it a bit, leave it for a few weeks, use it a bit, leave it, etc. Go for something with Eneloop technology.
From what I've read the normal NIMH hold there charge better for a month, the eneloop types have a steep drop in the beginning but level out after a certain point and almost stay the same for a year.

As wedding and freelance photographer i'm sure you deplete them at least monthly so normal NIMH would be a better option.

You can also get NiZn batteries but I've not yet found them in Europe but they seem to be perfect for your flash because of the higher voltage they charge your flash a bit faster.

You may want to do a "Reset all settings" on the K-7 to get it back to factory default...
There is a simpler way for that, when you go into the "cutom menu" you would have the option to remove the custom settings you made by "unchecking" the first box.
It's not a reset but if you find that didn't make a difference you can "check" the box again to turn your custom settings on.


And here is another question, what's your flash compensation set to?

They already are having a problem because they can't breach foreign copyright law.
So if they want to use a photo they first need to check if UK copyright law applies and if you know that you will most likely also know who the copyright owner is

Other than that I'm just taking the 35mm DA Limited and the 77mm Limited. I'll use a Lowe DSLR case with a lens case clipped on.

Now getting slight niggles. If I miss ONE lens, which would it be?
Seems you're missing the DA 21mm limited or DA 15mm limited to me

I use both Firefox and Opera. Firefox I like better because one can use it with those nice script and flash filters.
What do you mean?
