Rubbish.

Modern lenses work with modern cameras. There will never be a so-called "full-frame" Pentax DSLR, and most people will never use film again, so they will not be disadvantaged in any way by buying modern lenses.

And the technology in modern flash units is far superior to the 20 year old TTL design, so why should Pentax maintain compatibility with such old designs, especially when most Pentax users bought Sunpack or Vivitar flashes anyway.

Plus, you can still use your older flashes in manual mode, which is how most professional photograghers prefer to work anyway.

If you are so keen on Nikon, I am sure there are Nikon forums that you will enjoy. You might find something about compatibility issues with Nikon equipment that you would prefer not to mention.

Matt,

I had a look around for compatible plugs, and couldn't find any. I have four 5P leads, two short coils, one long coil, and one long straight.

If all else fails, PM me, and I will sell you a short coil for butchery.

If you're handy with a soldering iron, snip the cable, and insert an extension with male and female plugs at the ends. Then you can use it short or long.

Daniel,

I was talking about the spider. My face is so disconcerting, it's barely human at all.

So watch those alleys.

He has a disconcertingly human-looking face. And, like the other, well-lit and very sharp.

G

Will,

Just had a look at your site. I am afraid to say that I find all the Flash animation stuff extremely off-putting. It gets in the way of the photographs. I don't know who designed the site, but he ought to know that it is meant to be a showcase for your images, not his highly questionable web design skills.

99% of the time, Ebay is fine. Don't buy from people who look dodgy, and check feedback. Negative feedback isn't always bad, sometimes it is from people who are clearly unreasonable. It's a good idea to actually read the feedback, rather than go by the percentage.

If you're a veteran, I'm probably a mummy.

G

Both lovely.

It all depends what you have at the moment. If it is an auto gun with its own sensor, it'll happily work with the K10D. Just set the camera to manual with the shutter at sync speed and the same F-number on both the flash and the camera.

If it's a TTL gun, then you'll have to use trial and error. The more manual settings it has, the better (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc.).

What you won't get is full automation, unless it is a modern P-TTL unit.
