Hi Dave, slightly off topic but how good is the FA35? Microglobe have them for £308 new still and I'm tempted. Meanwhile away to Cyprus Sunday so I can F8 about to my hearts content with my DA15 Ltd

My best and most used lens... It'd take a FA31-Ltd to make me get rid (and there is a plan in motion...) Apparently the DA35-2.4 is built on the same optic and is much cheaper but I kinda like the FA's myself...

Lots of reviews on't'other forum...

The positive point is that this professional feature is available even on lower priced Pentax cameras. It's needed mostly for third party lenses I would imagine. I haven't found a Pentax lens yet that needed adjustment. No doubt I will one day.

I don't see anything negative about something being available though.

I am sure ut says in the manual that feature is specic for pentax lenses.

Which is kind of worse... You'd think that a camera making company would make their cameras work with their lenses without need for any adjustment...

So the question is: If Canon don't feel they need it, why do Pentax?

Must admit I don't quite get the point of the Pentax Gallery..if it's intended to be a showcase for the best Pentax photography then it's not really achieving it as some quite average photos are on there?

I've avoided submitting to PPG as I figured my images wouldn't come up to par...

This thread has got me thinking bout my honeymoon (which will be done on the cheap) and what gear I'll take...

I reckon I'd be happy with the K5, FA35, D-Xenon100macro & the 18-55WR kit + my filters and my table-top-tripod - Thease all fit in my bag with room for my netbook/laptop and a book

Not sure this gives out as much light as a regular flash... Certainly would be an alternative in some situations but may have some limitations that a flashgun doesn't...

I don't often need a back-up to the K5 but on the occasion that I have it's been in good light and I've used the boy's *ist-DS... Another K5 would be nice but the DS does ok in good light...
