Been having a good play around with lightroom and coming up with my own presets, which are making my processing a lot quicker now.

Pentax K-5 mk ii
DA* 16-50mm
ISO 800
Aperture f/5.6
shutter 0.5" - 1/20

Maybe i'm old fashioned, i shoot manual, watch the meter and adjust shutter, aperture & ISO depending on what i'm shooting.

I cant even figure out what P mode actually does....

Lowepro Orion Trekker

Unfortunately they dont make them anymore, one here on ebay, I have no link with the seller

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOWEPRO-ORION-TREKKER-CAMERA-RUCKSACK-BACKPACK-/290889...

I used one of these for around 30 music festivals, carry camera gear in the bottom and clothes, food & drinks etc in the top. Waterproof and very very comfy.

I managed to fit the following in the bottom section.

GX20 with grip
Tamron 17-50
Metz Flash
Spare batteries
Sony Hi8 Camcorder

So it will easily hold a k-5 and 50-135mm

The positive point is that this professional feature is available even on lower priced Pentax cameras. It's needed mostly for third party lenses I would imagine. I haven't found a Pentax lens yet that needed adjustment. No doubt I will one day.

I don't see anything negative about something being available though.
I am sure ut says in the manual that feature is specic for pentax lenses.

Well the image above was set at the lowest setting, the highest setting us brighter than my metz 48 flash, which i very rarely use at full power.

As for batteries i am using FM50s from mynold sony camcorder which are a lot lighter than 6 aa and seem to last a long time, im getting around 2 hours continuous use from one of those.

Bought one of these Yongnuo yn160 led light for some video work but tried it out with some desktop work.

Right hand side is lit from a window and the yn160s is placed to the left.
