Well I would if they started to reissue their 1.4xTC that was a bargin

I'm just checking the sellers other items. Some of the descriptions go beyond my basic understanding of lens usage : . I must admit I'm stunned by the "Fast 200mm Portrait Lens" which must be something on a 1.5 crop factor. Or is it that the lens is broken and will not operate when the camera is held "normally" in landscape?

Thanks, Ammonyte

I too was trying on the Eclpise - some success but no where some of my previous film efforts... so I'm keeping them to myself! Did have the K10d on an old 77mm Kowa scope to give me a 35 equiv of 1200mm. The main problem with lunar eclipses is the obviously you have to have a full moon and hence no nice shaddows to pick out surface detail.

I believe I've seen some talk that the tethering will be accomplised with a software drop in into the pentax browser... wasn't this recently done for the K100?

BTW I've seen that some one uses their Organiser with IR Remote software to successfully send the shutter open signal for specified periods of time (neat)

As for choice of type, I have both.
Cable - for shutter open lock on B
IR - Camera on tripod in low light (particularly in bird hides which have rather flexible floors)

BTW is there any info re K10 camera control via Photo Browser?

You know I was expecting these lenses later in the year somehow. From what I've read a firmware update will be required for SDM, is there any information on this?
