So is the bottom line that the K100D will accept and use all current sizes available? I've only used 1GB size to date but accept that the bigger they are the harder they fall if you've got a card full of pix!

Thanks Tony.
I am aware of the APO versions but I'm faced with the usual budgetary constraint known as "the wife".
I'll probably go for a DG from new...

Hi
I have a K100D and am thinking of buying a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro lens. I keep seeing ads for a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DL Macro lens.
Is there a diiference here I should be wary of?
Thanks for all replies in advance....

Thank you all.
What a result! Lot's of sensible comments/info within about an hour!
Niblue: Spot on re. the auto setting on the Sunpak and my worries on the possible frying of circuits.
Dan and Clarky: I didn't have a clue such info was out there! I've taken a peek at that list and have made a decision.
Unfortunately the manual (yes I still have it), doesn't give any trigger voltage details to confirm the 203V figure.
John: I was erring on the side of caution, hence my post. I've decided to leave it in the old bag along with my Fujica ST705W and its disintegrating light seals & dampers.
Now - I wonder if I can get a new gun on the Christmas/Birthday list.

Hi everyone, newbie here! I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me...
I'm slowly familiarising myself with the K100D - bought a few weeks ago.
I have an old flash gun, a Sunpak auto 124, which is 20+ years old that I would like to use until such time as I can afford a dedicated gun. The manual as you would expect refers only to the Pentax flash units.
The question is - will this work with the K100D and without damaging it?
I assume that I'll need to set the camera manually to match the flash rating. This is, if I read the specs right, 48 metres with ASA 400 film. This should be more powerful than the built in flash which has GN 15.6 (ISO 200/m)
The flash unit has it's own sensor on board and does not operate TTL.
Any advice offered will be very much appreciated.
