Thank you Pete for the explanation

Yes I knew Angela but habits are hard to unlearn.
And there are so many MAC acronym of head in my head

Mike don't forget that the DA 16-45mm is discontinued, I'm sure you can find them still in the shops but if that runs out it will be come hard to find them.
Sorry my VOC blood in me start to play up sometimes.

Thank you Sarah, that was very helpful
It's quite personal if you like #1 or #2 here, quite nice to see it's that close.

Between 4 & 6 there is little difference indeed, if you look closely you may notice that #6 is a bit warmer because I laid a tone over it.
The white is more cream there.

here is a side by side, makes it easier to look.

Somehow I don't like true B&W that often, it always need to have a tone for me to make it interesting.
Here it works for both I believe.

John, hasn't the PPI not so much to do with actual pixels but more with the size of something.

Like if you say you want a A4 canvas, there is a zoom options in photoshop that use the 72ppi to make the paper precisely the size of an A4 paper on your monitor.
Atleast if your monitor is 72ppi.

I don't think the actual PPI settings distort the pixel ratio so to say, 100% zoom is still 1:1 pixel on every monitor.

Am I on the right track here or do I wander beside it

I think the Base ISO lies Between the ISO100 and 200, it also makes you wonder why you can extend the DR in iso200 and not in iso100 with the K20D.
That lead many to think base ISO is 200 for the K20D.

Ah yes but you can install MAC on a PC so there goes your difference.

The problem is that MAC needs to support your hardware so you need to know what to get.

Here we go

Also handy if you want to upgrade your MAC.

Golfdiesel, there was also an update for the Metz48 but like you said it doesn't support master/control function.

This was updated:
Metz 48
1. Flash range indication enhanced.
2. Test flash with partial light input level.

Metz 58
1. Operation of second reflector enhanced.
2. Start signal in remote master mode changed from second reflector to main reflector.
3. Setting of the parameter values by repeat key.

Also the pentax AF360 & AF540 also have the "A" mode, it seems though P-TTL has been improved in the K-7, haven't tested it yet in the K-X.
My uncle has one so could try it tomorrow.

Mike I like them better this way, they aren't so wow any more but more pleasing to the eye.

Indeed very lovely
