All wide open except for the two fence post shots where one is at f/11 to show depth of field

All between ISO 1600 to 3200

Better flashes need less input, so make use slightly easier.

Maybe the canons and Nikons are that big in physical size compared to pentax that you didn't notice the pentax.

I know a few gig photographers that shoot pentax now due to my recomendations, in the Last 6 years of shooting festivals I met a guy from Japan shooting in the pit at Glastonbury with a IST d attached to an fa* 80-200 and a young journalist in the pit at latitude last year with a red k-R, latitude is one of the few festival pits where you can only get in with a detachable lens body.

Well, it's interesting that the new Sigma 35 1.4, which is a high end and full frame lens, is available in Pentax mount. The new Sigma 30 1.4, which is half the price and APS-C, is not available in Pentax mount.

It could be that the Pentax mount is coming later, but what is the reason for Sigma to release a full frame lens in Pentax format and not an APS-C?
Forward compatability...

Interested in an ND filter, i have a destination wedding in Zante in June, inant to use my primes for shallow depth of field, the wedding is at three so the light will still be bright, what ND filter would people suggest to shoot at f/1.4 ISO 100?

Mirror up
Lift it upside down
Blow up into the sensor with a posh blower check and repeat until clean.
