in a last resort your meter should allow you to change your iso and it should re-calculte the aperture values.. so changing your iso value (on your meter) intil it rounds the exposure off to a whole stop, then use those new iso and aperture values on your camera... the over all exposure will be the same, just using different iso and aperture combination...

my k10 can dial in 7.1, and any manual aperture lens can be set between 5.6 and 8...
soo, without knowing how to set your camera...
can I suggest this... move your key light a little closer till it rounds off to f8?
using the meter, to you meter each source sepertately? how?

Shot a local music festival on Saturday so a little chance to play with the Pentax K-R
Love the large rear screen, the fast rsponsiveness, the 6 frames a second, faster focus & the high ISO capabilities. An excellent little package & makes me want a k-5 now....
Really low light this show, so K-R with the SMC F 50mm f/1.4
ISO 1600
f/1.4
1/80
Found out today I am shooting Justin Bieber tomorrow in Birmingham in his first UK headlien show which is exciting & then Boyzone on Saturday...

Sean,
The only questions I can see are these:
One. "Can this be rationally explained?"
Yes, it can. And you'll be glad to hear that the answer is really quite simple. The camera has proved popular, so Pentax are able to charge more for it than they originally thought.
But amidst the gloom, there is good news for those who can't presently afford it. Eventually, demand will slacken off, and the price will fall.
As you grow older, Sean, you will become used to this sort of thing. Economists call it "Supply and Demand".
And now the second question. "Please explain how someone who is prepared to buy a camera at 900 pounds "cannot afford" the extra 70 pounds?"
This one isn't too hard either. Somebody who has saved £900 can't afford £970.
And somebody with £900 of credit left on his credit card can't afford £970.
And somebody who runs his life on strict budgetary principles (that word again!), and who has budgetted £900 for a purchase, can't afford £970.
I could go on... and on.
But I think it is time for a new topic.

I cannot have one unless my wife lets me.

how much time and money have you got?
I agree with Gartmore that sometimes you have to walk away... but... I love a challenge....
a trip to the hardware store...
2 x 1x2 boards or 2' abs pipe cut to 6 ft lengths...
1 foldable silver car windsheild sunlight blocker...
One silver reflector styled clamp on light and daylight balanced 100 watt bulb...
plus a couple pails and some gravel can make two useable lightstands and a huge reflector... for under thirty bucks...
if you got the photo and posing chops, you could pull it off.

anybody know how the 17-70 stacks up against the new 18-135?
I am thinking the new lens might be useful, as Gerri likes zooms, and the 17-70 is just a range we have well covered already....
