Ah that I was doing wrong *sighs*
When I type in Cokin Filters then it must be clear that I want both of these words right and not just one or the other, or am I not thinking right... it's seems not though although it's logical
So do we now have an excuse to start a topic anywhere in the forum?

You need to allow aperture ring, it's a setting in the cutsom menu. I don't know which number...
That's all basically if you don't have auto aperture.
You can use M & Av. With M mode press the green button to do a stop down metering.
Av will be behave differently depending the lens. Some lenses stay open and only close when you press the shutter just like the problem is without those lenses set on auto aperture the lens stays open when you press the shutter. When the aperture close when your turn the aperture ring then you can use the lens also in Av but still M-mode is the best mode to use, simply press the green button to do an automatic metering.

Ah okay, sorry for the misunderstanding, I did find the comparison interesting though.
Do you think you could use gells with the clear diffuser?
I still need to test what kind of effect a gell have on an umbrella.

I want to say the same thing like Ken last night but you had put so much effort into it that I'm sure bladerunneruk would appreciate the effort.
When I'm shooting family photos indoors I also use the flash but I don't turn off so I need to adjust the colour of my flash to the lighting of the lamps and then colour correction gells are very handy.
Indoors I've now standard 1/4 GTO on my flash and when it gets darker 1/2 GTO this most of the time works quite well.

This is where you go wrong, bladerunneruk didn't asked for that but he asked about colour corrections gells and how if anyone has any experience, either bounced off ceiling, via umbrella or softbox.to show someone who was asking questions how effective the diffent coloured domes can be.

Not really Ken, the search engine is not effective.
Do a search for Cokin Filters, that's quite a clear search term and what do you get. link

Homebrew AF-assist
Hello everybody, I've also been pondering about this, because I find the AF-assist (AFa) incorporated in my K10 to be at least annoying because of the potenial distraction generated by the strobe flashing and on top of that cumbersome when having to use it when needing AFa, but not wanting to use the flash for the exposure (pop up, AFa, close, shoot picture). I found out by using the AFa incor...

Thanks for the info. I do have one annoyance with the K7, and that is that so many features only work with jpeg files....seems like this is another one. Also, I didn't get any software with my camera, so I guess I will go and ask the shop I bought it from for a copy.
That's because you only need them with JPEG, every PP you do and resave your image you've quality loss. With RAW you can do as many PP as you want without losing any quality.Thanks for the info.

Also RAW is not an image how strange that might sound, it's only data from the sensor, the undeveloped film in your camera.... how do you want to put something you do as development in your undeveloped film?
I hope this make sense to you.

I went for Honl for the gells with the strap, it's more expensive but they said they will last longer so we will see.
If the lee filters fit the strap???
Simply measure it, I believe the flash is 3 inch wide and the gells are 5,5 inch so it looks like they will fit to me.
I really think gells are a must for strobists, I never thought they would be useful but I'm now very happy I bought a set 2 months ago.
Don't know how they behave with umbrellas or softbox though, I could try it with a umbrella if you want?
ps. did I gave you that link?

Some numbers.
England
1457.4 hours of sun average a year
838.0 mm rain fall a year
131.2 rainy days of more than ≥ 1 mm (so that's 37%)
Netherlands
1523,8 hours of sun average a year
792,9mm rain fall a year
131 rainy days of more then ≥ 1 mm
22 of more then ≥ 10 mm
164 days with 20% sun
34 days with 80% sun
You've more rain on average but the amount of days that it rains is the same.
