She was telling us (as there were a few of us there) that the viewer does not always see what they think they do...
For instance ice cream is often not ice cream but margarine dusted in caster sugar...
Food for thought...
(see what I did there:lol

Arrived safe and sound, first impressions are that AF a vast improvement, and menus reasonably intuitive but I still prefer dials and dedicated buttons...
The missus really likes the ergonomics, so I guess I'm relegated to the K10D!

I like number 1.

Although yes, I would say it's a good price... I just think there're better deals on better cameras at this time

TBH so used to using the main LCD screen on the K-x that I rarely use the top-screen on the K5...
I also really like the AF sellector switches (does K30 have these?) and having 2 control dials (K30 does have these) is much nicer than the single control wheel of the K-x...

Had I been upgrading with this weeks prices, I'd have snapped up a new K30 instead...
Some of the images I've seen from the K30 have been spectacular!

I'd suggest you do a week long test (perhaps on your lunch break) and take 30 images a day with the lens of the day...
Monday: Tamron
Tuesday: Pentax
Wednesday: Tamron
Thursday: Pentax
Friday: The probable winner - just to make certain
If anything it means you'll have 150 images to have a gander at...

Cactus V4 and V5 triggers will handle portable and studio strobes up to 300V (http://www.cactus-image.com/).
I have some cactus v4's I used with vivitar 283's (one of which is over 200V) they work fine. I've heard the cactus V5s are better.
To the OP... What triggers are you running? Should be able to get info on yongnuo (or any other brand) triggers on flickr-strobist group-forums fairly easily

how do I engage the macro function?

I don't thing the magnification on the F35-70 is even at 1/4 to be honest...
Good lens for general walkabout on my MZ7 though...
