A repost to see if it is any better, I think I might have put to heavy a vignette on the last one.

Starting to have a go at this strobist lark,on my sons Fender Strat.

Biggest disappointment for me is still the slow sync speed and the fact that the battery grip is new I.E cant use existing one.

Thanks for the replies, I used the underscore symbol on my K7 to input a space, but it does not seem to work on the K5 !! which is a bit disconcerting, I will try again perhaps I am missing something.
As for the colours Pentaxophile I still need to play with it some more , they do seem to stand out more. I use the natural colour setting.

Cheers Colin.

I have just bought a K5 11 from Clifton cameras which I am hoping will be a noticeable step up from my much loved K7. As yet not really had chance to try out the image quality, but the focusing does indeed seem sharper.A couple of things seem slightly different though, the feel of the buttons to me seem better on the K7, the K5 11 having an almost audible click to them (hard to describe just different). Also when trying to input a name in the copyright menu, I cannot seem to be able to input a space between words, when I do it on the K7 it is OK but on the K5 11 I get a symbol appear. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am definitely keeping my my much loved K7, but do have a K100d Super body that I am open to offers. ( P.M. if interested.

Some pics taken with my K7 today

A pic from today of the river Arrow in Alcester.

Just trying out putting pics on here.

I have just got a SMC 50mm 1.7 m lens which I want to use on my Pentax K7
It seems really good except it will not focus to infinity. Why would this be happening as I thought it was just some lenses used with an adapter that would not focus to infinity.
I look forward to your thoughts.
