What sort of settings are using on your new AF160FC or is it still early days :
Hyram, I haven't used it on my 100mm as yet, but have used it on the 35mm macro and attached to my pentax 100mm 2.8/pentax 50mm 1.7 stacked combination. Clarky wrote:

Its a far better ring flash than the af080c in regards to IQ. Pics are not as flat as you would expect with a ring flash.

I have it permanently attached to either my K20 or K7, My fav lans at the moment. I used it for my daughters Baby shower party on the weekend and when I wasn't snapping ladies gushing over a pair of baby booties, I was snapping critters in the garden
Didn't have a lens change all day, very versatile lens.

Thanks Kris, very happy with the result.
I must thank JR for some valuable advice, he not only estimated the price they would fetch but believed the 18mm would probably fetch more than the 15mm and he was right on both counts. Spooky

Great shot Pete, I like the crop, probably would have taken another 1/2" off the top. :
Looks bl##dy cold, though

If you are using windows, just click on the "My computer" icon on your desktop and select the drive that represents your camera, you should then see your pics.
What picture viewing software are you using ??
I always use a card reader rather than connecting my camera to the computer, does your computer or printer have a card reader on it??

As A few of you will know, I have recently acquired a rather rare lens, as the title suggests.
I took it out into the yard today for a try out. I am quite impressed with it, very sharp and excellent colour rendition.
What do you think. The last one was shot wide open.

The silver ones take better pictures. This is due to them not being anodized silver as is widely thought, but rather coated with a very special layer of magic fairy dust - ask any owner Oh- I wondered what the difference between black and silver FA lenses??

You need the Remote Assissant software, which is usually bundled with the camera when you purchase it. But I am not sure if it came with the DL2.
I believe you can download it from the Pentax website.

Shame it's so close in focal length to the 31. I'd be tempted to get one, otherwise.
