From out of the woodwork it seems. Wow many new users, where did you all come from?
Over 2 or 3 years it would be common to get everything digital, if it's a good or bad things is another story but it's the way forward.
You can even make the PU interactive

It seems that Hoya had some influence on that if you read the interview with Ned Bunnel, but they don't bring out new products monthly so it takes time to see the difference.Shaky wrote:

Photokina is in Cologne (Koln), Germany. It's a huge show covering many halls, it makes Earls Court look tiny. It's quite easy to get to. Focus is much easier to navigate in a day, you need several days for Photokina!
I will probably visit again in September, I went in 2006, it's a great city for photography. The Cathedral is stunning.
Richard I'll be going too but during the week not weekend, the weekend is far too busy. If you go early in the week you can make it in a day to see everything (just).Photokina is in Cologne (Koln), Germany. It's a huge show covering many halls, it makes Earls Court look tiny.

I went in 2008 and I still regret it that I didn't take my camera, they had a special grip for on the camera for the K10D and k20D.

Hi Anvh, thanks for your thoughts, looks like the LumoPro are US made and imported to NL, I have not found a UK stockist so far (yes I'm in the UK !).
presently an old thyristor flash I have with 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 power options, or the K10's onboard with a diffuser, will have to do until I get the hang of it all and can justify sparing some cash.
not looked for westcott yet, but what made you go for a 60inch umbrella, that's huge!?? Seems a bit big for indoors for small UK houses at least. Thanks for the tip about softboxes fitting on umbrella stands.
cheers
Indeed they are from the USA I believe and imported to the Netherlands, they are good products for the price. You can find some reviews on the web, it's a shame no one in the UK has them.Hi Anvh, thanks for your thoughts, looks like the LumoPro are US made and imported to NL, I have not found a UK stockist so far (yes I'm in the UK !).

Ah yes 60inch is quite large but I rather have it too large then too small, I went for the 60inch for the softer light, you can quite easily place the umbrella closer to the flash and it will behave like a smaller umbrella so I've more options. Also Dutch homes are a bit higher I believe.
When I get my second stand I'll probably get two 43inch that fold down very small for portability and later on a softbox from Westcott (I don't believe anyone else make such softboxes).

Maybe they don't think they can produce enough for the whole world so they just bring it out in Japan and when they have a bigger storage they go world wide with it???

Great shot, very well exposed as well, there is still details in the dark parts.

From what I've seen they are going to bring more options under tools themselves instead of hiding them in the menu.
For example when you want to straighten a photo, you get the ruler tool draw the line go in the menu and select straighten. With CS5 they have make a button "straighten" that appears in the tools options when you select that tool. Such sort things.
I also finally found out where most is but bringing things closer to the user is not a bad thing in my eyes if it makes things easier and faster. But I wouldn't like it if they mess up the menus
When is CS5 coming, I've heard April somewhere but aint sure?

You need to permit manual aperture you can find that option in the "custom" menu, that should do the trick.
hmm that's this option from you link.
Under Menu>Custom Setting, make sure “Using Aperture Ring” is set to “2 - permitted”, this is OFF by default.
Like said that should do the trick...
