The problem is that for example the photos that i take are protected under the Dutch copyright law, how want the UK force their law on me or my "properties"?This could well end up in the courts - weaker protection for foreign copyright holders than domestic ones (since a UK copyright holder is obviously more 'findable' in the UK than an overseas one)

Well you will be missing focusing with SDM and some more things, have you just seen the ISO preformance upgrade from the K7 with the new firmware?Leave well alone,that's my Motto !

The cactus V4 works very well, my AF540FGZ flash just don't like them though but other flashes has fired 100% of the time.
The video you see on youtube is true but you've the problem with almost all of them when you lay them so close together because of interference.
The twinlink also use infrared beside radio and those should not have that problem.
And well the Catus V4 are just a tenth of what a pocketwizard cost so they are allowed to preform a not as good.
Just go to the shop and try them out, you might be surprised how well they work.

You could make them from even length and "mean" out the noise, that's very effective.You could have used multiple exposure. It would have helped with the noise issue. Each exposure would have been shorter, but the combined total time would more or less have been the same.

Hoya or B&W are the best, if you must buy one of those with the coatings.

Perhaps and I was applying that but lets not go down that route it will get us nowhere and will only make people unhappy.Perhaps he just likes to light the blue touchpaper and retire...
Just be serious without getting things heated up, if it goes down that route I'll not look at this thread again since it would be pointless.

Yeah you're right and he sold all of his kit in the mean time, so yes that makes you wander about this thread.

Sorry for the assumption, from the last messages it looked like you had a deal.[quote:3496ace15f="Anvh"][quote:3496ace15f="gartmore"]

Back to your question, why do you want to have a dictated wireless sync?
Any reason why the ones mentioned aren't good enough?
Here is a comparison between a Pocketwizard and the Seculine TwinLink link They both work with a Pentax camera (or any camera with a standard hotshoe) and they both can only just trigger a flash, their is no TTL communication between them.

Already have a topic about that and no one knows...
Could one be 35mm equivalent value maybe?

Seems you've something to do this week
About macro, actually your 18-55mm has a greater magnification then your 50-200mm.
Put your camera on manual focus set the focus the closest it can get and the 18-55 on 55mm that way you would have the greatest magnification at 1:2.9 (1cm on the sensor would be 2.9cm in real life the 50-200 will only do 1:4.2).
Use your body to focus the lens so move in closer or further away and press the shutter on the right time. Also make sure you've enough light, maybe even use your flash wirelessly and use an F-number around the f/8 or maybe even higher but f/8 is a good starting point to see what happen.
About subjects... you can make quite abstract things of doing macros from objects you've at home, maybe that's something?

Also, if those ladies did handheld shots inside the church they're surely fairly unlikely to be pin sharp at those shutter speeds regardless of image stabilisation. Do Canon kit lenses have the same slow shutter speed stabilisation stuff that the expensive lenses have?
He's not saying that. He's saying better gear = better enlargements. Which is kind of rather true, especially if they're crops. He's also saying better gear = more lowlight capability. Which is also kind of true in my experience. His reasoning, I think, is if you're calling yourself a pro then really you'd better have the tools to do the job - a complete toolset which is flexible enough to cope with unexpected issues.
Surely this isn't such an unreasonable thing to ask. I, for example, might get cranky, if I took my car for a service and all the guy had was a screwdriver - wouldn't you?
Some members here have done a shoot for their friends wedding and most if not all ended up buying a faster lens like a 50mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 to have something for lowlight. Is it wrong to presume a pro has the equipment that is needed or has the knowledge to deal with it?
Of course this was entertainment but i'v read the same thing happening in the UK and those are the one destroying the market, i wished that the profession photographer was protected, it would mean that people without a decent understanding can be dealt with and that you can protect people from people like you saw in the clip.
