CS3 works with the K20D/K200D & K-m and earlier cameras but the K-X and the K-7 don't work.

Yes I could try that, there are now alkaline inside.
Maybe the resitance in the battery might be at fault since it does trigger the flash but too late... maybe Nimh will work although the voltage is lower... but then again how much power is needed to trigger a flash
Will try the Lithiums Dan

Yes indeed but I've been thinking about it and it does not explain why shooting the JPG in aRGB does make the difference for the RAW file...Anvh wrote:
Ah well if it works
If you use DNG, the embedded JPEG is based upon the corrections applied during conversion rather than the the original (camera generated) embedded JPEG, whereas other Raw formats will only show the original.Technoblurb wrote:

Funny thing is that RAW doesn't have a colour profile only the preview jpeg in the RAW has it so very strange that that the solution is After changing my settings to DWG and Adobe RGB sanity has now returned. Although it was interesting to see that David had the same problem.

At least I don't see it.

You can do your basic profiling with some colour cards, they aren't that expensive.

Correct me if i'm wrong but a FA* modified for APS sensors will be a DA* anyway..
Yes precisely, we don't need FF right?Correct me if i'm wrong but a FA* modified for APS sensors will be a DA* anyway..

Bret, I think so too.
If the batteries are warm then it does work so only thiny bit more powerfull batteries or ones that work better in the cold should do the trick.

I would miss the quickshift though and some lenses do look heavy.I would also like to see the FA*'s reintroduced. They were among the best optics ever made but Pentax must launch a full frame DSLR first..
So maybe just a modification so that it fits APS-C sensor nicely by making the lens a bit smaller and therefor lighter and at all the extra's of the DA* lenses, I would like to see that indeed.
If they need to go FF is another story all together.

Well I went to the shop today.
Service was good and they where helpfull but still there is the problem.
We did some test in the shop and it seems the flash (pentax af540fgz) is the problem, other flashes in the shop worked without a problem up to 1/180.
It seems that if the batteries are cold that the trigger voltage isn't high enough so will try some other batteries in the trigger to see what works, or do someone has some other ideas?
It works on 2 AAA batteries so 3v.

Thank you all, this a major boost for my confidence
Only the first shot and the last was shot at night the others where shot at sunset so we had some light there.
The sunset does make for some special lighting though, a trip to 24h Le Mans is now on the list to do.
I've more shots like these will upload them tomorrow when I'm home

I'll admit to being very tempted by the WR 100mm macro.

I believe all DA* lenses do pretty well on film except the DA*16-50... I have looked for the topic but can't find it.
You can always go for Sigma or Tamron of course.
