Yes... 50 or 90mm. That's my thoughts too. It's a friend of mine who also happens to be female (I'll stop this now). The Tamron at 50mmm is a standard for me when doing portraits, the Tamron (90mm can be a bit low on contrast as its the 135mm (well they are years old) when photographing anything at a distance. I can sort it in software to an extent but...

I may shoot it in my kitchen. Grey background and she will be in a swimsuit type of effort. The other option is outdoors. I found a translucent bed cover from a pound shop that will act as a huge soft box, when clamped to stands.

A shot inspired by this:

Does anyone else dream of having a Pentax 645D??? More than any other camera in fact.

Hello Pentaxians...

Now i have the opportunity of photographing a real woman. They are quite rare I've heard and I want to get it right! I want it to be super flattering as she is Rubinesque andI want that perfect perspective control. I'm not sure how far away i will be, but she will have her legs on view. Real ladies legs.

Any ideas?

Look forward to seeing these!

I had sharpness issues with my Tamron too. I had set it to -10, on my K7 and still no help. I had it serviced and it is now on -1 I think and very sharp, lovely wide open too.

I am i the opinion that the service should fix the issue. I'm hoping to upgrade to the K5 myself... so i hope no issues!!

Yes will do! I'll have a look right now!! cheers

Yes! I have some elinchrom sky ports, but how do i connect them? The have a jack connection but 540 doesn't!

Hello,

thanks for this but it seems my question is entirely in need of clarification!

I'll try again. I want to use my 540 as an off-camera flash. Get into outdoor strobist stuff. I don't want to use the wire or fire the little flash on camera. What do I need that will be compatible with the 540 to fire it off-camera?

Take care

James

Hi All,

I have the curly sync cable and I know you can use the pop up flash to trigger the 540 but... I don't want to use either of these. The pop up is detracting and it effects the exposure (i presume).

I have some lovely Bowens lights and I use Elinchrom sky port triggers. But I want to use my pentax flash, especially as a back light. How do i do this?

Thanks in advance.
James

Pentax and Satchmo... this has made my day!
