Just want to pick your brains. I have a K3 and a Metz 64 Af-1.
I'd like to fire this flash off camera for some portrait work. Can anyone recommend any wireless triggers that will allow me to do this? HSS and maybe TTL compatible.
Many thanks
Bal 😀

You've got a K3 ..... Do you know how much of a crop you can do with that sensor and not have any significant loss at the output sizes you use? ..... Do you really need 600mm...?

I have the Sport version in Canon mount and it is an excellent lens, Contemporary is much the same but lacking the build quality, weather resistance and weight. there is no useable Canon or Nikon to Pentax mount adapter.
Mikep, you're absolutely correct. If I can get a good finance deal I'll buy the 80d or the nikon 500. But just seem to be going backwards in mega pixels. Just a real pity the AF-C on most pentax is useless. But the best brand for image quality in my opinion.
Buy yourself the C version and a cheap used 7D MKI or Nikon whatever just for wildlife.

I have a Sigma 150-500mm in Pentax fit for sale, if you're interested.

Seems to be false hope ….. a quick look at SRB only shows me Canon FD to Pentax K adaptors. This is an EOS system lens isn't it? Even the adaptors for the ancient FD lenses show no auto aperture or metering control.
balsembi, what is it that made you think this was possible? Have you seen something specific?

There's no such adaptor as far as I understand...... Forget that lens, or get a Canon camera to go with it.

i have found that my favourite subject to shoot is definitely wildlife.
i have narrowed my lens search down to the Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM Lens - Canon Fit.
as you can see.....CANON FIT...nooooooooo
right, as we all know sigma do not make them for a pentax fit.
i use a K3 and would love to know if any of you have used lens adapters???
are they any good? canon or nikon adapters to fit pentax k mount.
have any of you used them? do they affect the quality? and can you recommend a decent adapter?
this is a lens just about in budget for me as we all know to achieve anything near that focal length can cost ££££££'s in other brands
your help with be much appreciated
thank you all pentaxians
