I still do a bit of photography commercially, but I'm a dispatch manager now. So I don't need three models (with different lenses).
I managed to make a reasonable living from photography and the 645 really stood out from the snappers and gave the client confidence. But it was getting a bit sketchy with summer work very scarce, plus I'm no businessman, so I decided to go for an actual wage

But I've got a 'proper' job now, so it's up for grabs again!
The entire kit is about to go to a dealer and he is suggesting £4,500 for everything,
So if you want it at that price shout now!
It's amazing! My favourite camera to use and to just hold. Much nicer than the K1 to carry around surprisingly. I will be really sad to see it go. But go it must.
The picture quality is just sublime. I can't even begin to describe luscious images or the feeling of seeing an enourmous print of a tiny spider or a beautiful portrait and walking right up to it with no loss of detail.
Some example shots:

Nay idea what the state of play is with remote HSS now (Dec 201.
I still can't find anything out there. I can't believe Pentax hasn't come up with a radio trigger. I need it almost every time I shoot an event, but just have to make do with on-camera flash or reflectors and an assistant

This type of cable is not ideal as I am leaving all but one of the pairs twisted (less resistance) and using the last pair untwisted, so really that's the weak link and essentially it's behaving like it's all single cores.
I'll buy some more suitable cable as above, and try again. Watch this space...

My guess is there must be a limit to the length I can go due to voltage drop and speeds etc. but I went with the entire length - about 10m I think.
It didn't work. It fires as a normal flash but won't fire above sync speed (as if it isn't a HSS flash).
Anybody know how long a HSS cable can be?

Similar sort of money for the others.
K5 is boxed with all goodies and in excellent condition. Would make an ideal gift - £250

But I guess I could do.
