Those you have now look good
Neil, Very interesting how the lens renders the blur there, it's pleasant but not quite soft... it's like said interesting.
Don, thank you for those.
You clearly have the blur disks there and they look good.
Is the lens formula the same as the A*85?

Comment by Anvh posted on Which flash? Please advise at 02/12/2009 - 10:57
I believe the 70-200mm was the lens for portait and the 85mm was the prime lens.
The 50-135mm on an cropped sensor comes close to the 70-200mm on fullframe.
And 55mm on an cropped comes close to the 85mm on fullframe.
I think 28mm is more then wide enough so would go for that if I need to pick one of the two lenses you named.

The thin end of the wedge. Once allowed one bit of invasion of privacy then beaurocracy doesn't want to stop. Individual freedom is supressed.
So what would change if you need to have an ID with you all the time tomorrow, in what way would your privacy change?
There is no way to scan the card since it's just a plastic card with your name, your residence number and a photo.

Studio flashs on the other hand are always manual so far as I know and not dictated.
I believe there are some that you can trigger with your pop up flash but Pentax DSLR pop-up use P-TTL and therefor you've a pre-flash that can trigger the studio flash.
There are smart flashes keeping that into account as well.
The easiest way is just to use an IR/RF trigger as said above.

Stefan I guess there might be an issue with the fact that the flip up magnifier is described as adding "2x magnification to the central portion of the focusing screen, recommended for critical focusing".
The original poster mentioned something suitable for use for general photography
Edit: So having not used one there would be a question mark in my mind about what happens to the rest of the focus screen.
Was thinking about using it for macro work and studio work when using shallow depth of field.
Because you can flip it up you can first get the framing right and the focus close and then flip it down to focus it perfectly, at least that was the idea.

One way of looking at it Stefan is, lets say for example, this is just an example.
You go out for a walk, with your ID card in your pocket and you want to go to some shops, but to enter these shops you have to swipe your card through a scanner.
First we're talking about the police and now about shops, they have nothing to do with your ID if you ask me.

just because it's on a computor does not mean that everybody should have access to it
What's the difference if the police ask you to identify yourself between giving your name and address or showing your ID?
Since there are 3 comments saying their is a difference, I must not see the problem most likely.
@John, I'm not talking about feelings or anything I simply don't see a difference in privacy.
