I wanted it more for its shading abilites, as you know its difficult to see the screen when in bright sunlight.

I have sent Delkin an email requesting info for K10D, see what happens, quite like the idea of that one as wd be a great help in sunny conditions.Quote:

I was looking for one of those hard plastic type also but could only find one for The ist*D. This has probably been done before, if so, point me in right dir.

Excellent shot. You obviously live in an area with great bird life which justifies your purchase of such a good lens (tell your wife that )
I want to see the expression on the fishes face during the swallowing sequence
Looking forward to some more

That link is the first bit of negativity i have read about the Pentax
I agree with Hefty its a superb lens although i have not had this lens very long and not used it for portraits as yet. Also i have used it predominatly with a ring flash attached so i have been stopping it down somewhat and experimenting with it.
The guy who tested it said it hunts excessively : well i have been using the AF quite a bit, even with close up shots. and as you would expect it does hunt a bit, but not excessively so, and not as much as my Tamron 90mm, in fact i found i can control the Pentax better by feathering the shutter button to achieve focus lock.
In the wash up i would go with either of the 3, Pentax, Sigma, and Tamron. I don't believe you will be disappointed with any of them
Mybe the tester got a dud or he was having a bad day

I got this lens from ebay recently and found out this lens was a bit different from my other pentax collections. I have never touched the M series and on this lens, there's no glass near the lens hood which is not found on my A, FA, DA lens. I dun know if it's been customized to be like this or it's for some other reasons? Many thanks in advance and sorry about my poor English.
Does it look like this : I got this lens from ebay recently and found out this lens was a bit different from my other pentax collections.

Clarky,
Option (1) - nothing else is needed. Just set the AF360s to SLAVE1 (see page 49 of the manual). The K10D needs to be set to wireless mode in the flash setup - and you are correct, you can choose in the custom menu whether the popup contributes to the exposure or not (there's always a tiny weeny dot of light in catchlights even when it's set to a controller only, but nothing more).
Exposure works exactly the same as when on the camera. Auto zoom won't work, of course, but then that's probably not a problem with macro.
You can also use the "A" and "M" modes on the flash if you're feeling adventurous But with P-TTL everything should be fine.
Option (2) will require a pile of stuff. It'll cost you more than the price of an AF360 You'd need two 1m cables, two adapters for each flash, and two stacked up on the camera. As you'd need two on the camera you won't be able to use the pop-up. If you use the single upright adapter on the camera then you can choose to use the pop-up or not. Total cost would be near £200 for the cables
I'd say stick to option (1)
Matt
Thanks Matt you have answered all my questions as i knew you would Clarky,

And yes option 1 does look inviting
Much appreciatated and my apologies as you must get sick of answering the same thing over and over.
Comment by Clarky posted on Running 360 flash off camera K10 at 06/03/2008 - 10:32
I apologise if this has all been covered before (i have read the threads) but i am having trouble getting my head around all this off camera flash business
I have a flash bracket too enable me to run one or 2 flashes (AF360FGZ x 2) off camera. (one on either side of the camera)
I believe i have 2 options on how it is triggered.
(1) Wireless will allow me too trigger the flash with the pop up flash and i can change the camera setting so the pop up is either Master (which contributes to the flash) and Commander which doesn't (stop and correct me if i am wrong )
Does the flash still work exactly as it would if mounted on the camera :
I don't need any adapters to run it this way :
(2) Wired I would need to get the adapters and cord, Extension cord F5P,
Hotshoe adapter FG, Off camera shoe adapter F : (again correct me if i am wrong.
Does the flash still work exactly as it would if mounted on the camera :
If i wish to run 2 360s i would need an extra 2 F adapters and 1 extension cord F5P :
Does the pop up flash still need to be utilised with this setup :
Just some clarification on my assessment would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
