Hi Prieni,

I'm afraid to say that I just tested my AF360FGZ on my K20D and have no problems at all with it going into P-TTL or with exposure or the camera recognising that the flash is attached.

Have you check the Fn menu on the K20D and do you have it in the normal Flash On mode?

My AF360FGZ is only around 6 months old, if that.

Do you see the wavy lines within the RAW files viewed at 100% before exporting them to JPEG?

If so, then it looks too regular to be anything but electronic interference noise to me.

When you have those shots, are you using a fully charged Pentax battery or a third-party battery with a different spec?

If it's easily repeatable it would seem to me that it might need to go to Pentax for investigation. But I'm no expert by any means.

My support goes to SilkyPix for RAW conversion (recent convert to it myself) and PSP for image manipulation/finishing off.

Bigma, cheap? Might be interested!
Not sure about how cheap I'll post on this forum first if/when I come to sell anything.

Considering the overcast day, those are impressive pictures from what I can see. A little difficult to see if there's any vignetting at f4 from the clouds, but that wouldn't worry me too much. Thanks for the photo's Dan.

I've been warned that if I want to by anything again, ever, I have to sell lenses first As that's the case, my Bigma might become available soon

The full-size image of this really shows the surprise on the poor fishy's face:

The full swallowing experience will follow as I develop the sequence

Unfortunately, all I seem to be able to see is what appears to be a piece of snot coming out of its nostril

That aside, that's a nice comparison of the different processing techniques and seems to show a thumbs up for RAW processing outside of the camera.

For those that have (or are waiting for) a K20D, SILKYPIX just added support for the K20D to the latest develop build. Works fine for me with none of the problems with WB adjustment that ACR still has.

That's a great photo. So, how did you end up fitting the "diffuser" to the ringflash?
