I don't have a K-3ii but I'd guess it does depend on the flash as previous Pentax flashguns that support it have a switch on the gun. Pretty sure I've tried my old AF240FT in 2nd curtain sync on my K-1 which needed the switch on the gun.

MEF bodies are fairly rare, especially those with working AF sensors. Some photographers with poor eyesight find thely useful to help with manual focussing on a 'properly built' camera body. The lenses are even rarer (especially working ones). These are definitely only of interest to collectors. The lens is also the fastest M series standard zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture.

I have both the body and the lens, mine are not for sale, they are of historic importance.

Hi LennyBloke, landscape is the best description, not exactly but I don't need an instant review and generally take my time. I'm not the most patient landscape photographer though. Since buying it, Zs have come down in price and the CCD v CMOS argument may come into play. I've been shooting big cameras for decades and prefer MF handling, as such I prefer the D to the K-1. If you're not in a rush, the D is a fabulous camera.

Update: since posting the above I bought a 645D about a year ago and later bought a K-1. I much prefer the D and apart from travel shoot it more than the K-1. I still have my film MF and shoot it, the 6x7 is such a great camera to use, but scanning is pain and the workflow to get A2 prints from the D is much easier (commercial labs), more convenient and cheaper. You lose the appeal of seeing those big trannies on a lightbox though.

Bump, offers considered.

Thanks for the feedback, you're welcome.

The late M28 is no longer for sale, the rest are still available.

By barely noticeable do you mean you're still struggling for dynamic range (i.e. it's not working) or that you don't get the artifacts when HDR is done for effect (I'm with womble and wouldn't want them anyway).

My K-5 does wonderful HDR, apart from occasional softness from movement, (can't be helped) it produces very natural looking images with much more dynamic range.

No HDR:

Hi all, I've got a spare genuine Pentax M42 adapter for sale in it's original packaging (green poly envelope). It's not sealed so I can't say it's not been used but it is in very good condition.

The early M28 is now sold.
