Welcome Lukhash.

I'm just down the road in Bradford... There's a fair few members from West Yorkshire!

The thing that upsets me is that other the photographers whose images were used in the same feature were credited but mine were not...
It's a free community magazine; the work of which I support... Nobody profits from it except the community it supports... So legal action is absolubtly not a path I'm willing to follow...
Like I said, I know the guys who run it... I just feel a bit let down (possibly betrayed) My initial post was deffo in anger... I won't be submitting anymore images to the group (the DJ one in my gallery is one of 5 they used)

MkII should have improved focus speed in general not just in lowlight...

If possible; and in your position I'd budget for the MkII and buy the K5 MkONE. Plus a shiny peice of glass!!

Just saw a really really good piece of theatre in Bradders 'The Situation Room'

The bar was very well stocked as well - couple of IPAs, blonde, sheep, fruh - Brilliant night!!

Ha!

I mis-read it the first time too

I use V4's presently and although very good the V5's appear to be a pretty serious upgrade... If you have a few of them (along with flashes) the options are near limitless... Quite exciting (I'm such a geek!!)

Will that work in a 'one-on-one-off-camera' set up with the same amount of control?

I recomended the V5 as you can use the transciever on the camera's hotshoe to trigger the 'on-cam' flash and the off camera transceiver OR just the off-cam OR just the on-cam with the flick of a dial... It's quite a clever system despite the low price and lack of (P)ttl functionality...

the 'Class A' review is the 5th down and most comprehensive of the bunch...

Sorry re-read your post... One duo pack would work... But if you want 2 flashes off camera and ability to switch between you'd need 3 transceivers (and that would give more options)

I believe the cactus v5 triggers can do what you're asking... You'd need 3 tranceivers to make it work (so may as well order 2 duo packs if that's the route you plan) there's a very good review by member 'ClassA' (?) On the other forum...
You would have to order from jingling from gadget infinity... But don't let that put you off... They're very good.
