But what applies to the FA 100mm will also apply to your Tamron, if you ever use it again. It will be intersting to learn which of the two you prefer (Tamron 90 or Pentax D-FA 100mm).

You're buying lenses so fast, Clarky, that your sig needs continual updating.Quote:
Here's a tip, Clarky.
Your AF080C is an excellent flashgun, but it will only fit lenses with a filter diameter of 49mm.
However, thanks to the digital crop factor, it will happily work on your K10D with the FA 100mm 1:2.8 (58mm filter diameter) using a stop-down ring, and with NO vignetting.

Thanks George i did a bit of research on that before purchasing. Here's a tip, Clarky.

So do you have this Ring Flash George:
The guy i brought it off has included 2 step up rings 49-52 and 49-55
so i will be able to use it with the Tamron. And i will be interested with the results when i compare it with the Pentax.

I have just picked up one these from e-bay for my K10, Pentax TTL Ring Flash AF080C, I know its not P-TTL compatible but it should work ok in Manual. I haven't got it yet so i can't say how good or how bad it will be.
As far as I know the cheap flashes you see on e-bay should be ok with the K1000.
Pentax also use too make another ring flash AF140C but they are hard to get hold of and expensive.

Wow, are they going to try and re-float that beast.
Couldn't you get the same effect from just an an ordinary single shot :

Thanks for the link Clarky.
I found this: http://www.adaptall-2.com/lenses/19AH.html
I guess it is that one - with the constant f3.5
I looks quite ok.
If it is the one you are referring to it gets a much better wrap than the one i found but the best ever If you win it i will await your judgment Thanks for the link Clarky.

I'm looking for some info about this lens:
Tamron SP 70-210 mm F3.5 CF Macro BBAR MC
Anyone used one - or know some good things about it?
I'm watching a local auction with this one in. I could use a focal lenght like this. Currently price tag £20.

I love the full colour version. I hope you don't mind me saying but the whole concept of the B&W with a bit of colour has always left me cold. To me it says "I can do this so I will do this". Unless you are making some sort of point like in an advert I prefer it straight. Yes I know we all process our pictures a bit from time to time but I hope you know what I mean.

I would appreciate honest critique over someone saying they like something when they don't Thanks all for the comments.

Now that I like! Thankyou.
The contrast between the yellow and the green is lovely. Maybe if you were to keep the flower at it's full glorious yellow in your B/W version it would work better.
Did you spray it to get the water drops or is it still raining there?
Thanks Gwyn. The rain had stopped but the forecast is for more this week and we had a bit this afternoon. But i'm not complaining, with all the rain we have had over the past 4 weeks our dam is still only at 60% but thats still better than the 25% it was at. Now that I like! Thankyou.

I know George and i have told myself NO MORE, THATS IT, FINITO,
I do have the AF080C (see my sig!), and it's excellent. The guide number (8!) seems low on paper, but I haven't needed more power. It's "adequate", as Rolls Royce used to say in the days when they didn't publish the horse-power of their engines.
