The K7 can trigger the flash without the pre-flash being a problem, which is useful, but that doesn't help with the K20D of course.

I use an IR trigger made by Interfit. A very small flash in the hotshoe would do the same thing.

I have purchased twice from Simply Electronics, via Amazon, and there was no problem either time. Goods were sent promptly from within the UK.

No, they didn't. Praktika cameras were low cost products made in what was then East Germany. The only thing they had in common with pentax was the 42mm screw thread mount.

Quality of Praktikas was clunky and variable, although some of the lenses were OK. Still not in the first league though.

The first league would have been Nikon, Pentax, Minolta and Canon from Japan. From West Germany it would have been Zeiss Ikon and Voigtlander.

I'm currently interested in the option to sell photos via EPZ, ever since I noticed that nice tab "buy This Photo" on Pete's latest image!

I hope to be joined up to that by weekend, as well as fotoLibra.

Make a report or PM to PentaxDan and he will do the necessary for you. Or phone the office.

I would agree with Ken that leave well alone is the way to go. The system we have is essentially the same as the weekly competition, and is simple and well understood. A high maintenance version will I think flounder after a while rather like the somewhat cumbersome Raw Competition did.

In this case i would see what effect using Photo Filters in CS2 had. An 81 filter would be the logical warming one to use.

On the other hand, this might have been the natural colour of the light, so there are choices to be made.

The final choice if the colour doesn't appeal could be Sepia (or other) toning or black and white.

I use the daylight setting, or cloudy in certain circumstances, because I want to capture the quality of the ambient light.

If I see a wonderful warm sunset I don't want AWB trying to correct it.

It's the same with any group - the sense of team spirit is activated and therefore there are those within the group and those outside. When those outside say something negative, the sense of defending the group comes to the fore.

Things are rarely as clear cut as in the article though. The review in question sounds pretty damning and may have been too strong. Or it may have been a poor review. We only have the writer's word for it that it was justified!

I always fancied a Pentax 67, but I fear that it's too late now....maybe a 645D?
