Flash is a no no. Got to be fast glass and high ISO. There are no shortcuts unfortunately. If the lighting is very bright, all the better. Blurring can be an issue.
Some people manage the odd shot but to do a whole sequence is not easy. Distance from the stage is a killer.
After you have sorted all that, it's easy!!!

I accept that newcomers to photography may not have had the time or cameras to say, but which camera has been your work horse, your trusty steed?
Why and what lens is nearly always stuck on the front.
Mine is my first DSLR, my istD with a Sigma 70-200 EX on the front. I would go as far to say that my standard lens is a 70-200mm. I use that more than any other lens.
So what is your trademark body and lens? The one you can pick up and work with, without even thinking of how to adjust or set or dial in, just seamlessly go with the flow?

I have items coming from Adorama once a month, they are excellent retailers.
B&H are also in the same league.

John is correct. It may seem that the grass is greener, but moving will not make you a better photographer.
I have for a long time now, accepted that moving from one system to another is not the way to do it.
For me, I just bought other systems to work along side my Pentax kit.

Yes, in Bahrain. A Practise session at Sakhir.
It's a whole new ball game. As I was not known to the "teams" and had no formal Passes etc. A guy came over and gave me the once over whilst talking to some one on the other end of his radio. He did not speak to me. He then just turned and walked away.
As for the cars, very loud (side wall, main straight)and a wee bit difficult to pan! Slower corners and head ons work better.

Bit of an issue topic for me I suppose, with only me to blame for hollow expectations. At the end of the day, I did buy into Nikon for the FF features so I should not really try to make a case against Pentax.
I'm happy with the K7, if I move my K10D on; I'll buy a second K7. Believe it or not, I'll still keep my istD. Just bought an istD from an honorable member here which is a gift for some one else.
The truth is that my 35mm glass, as you say is fine on cropped.
Got carried away with the thread, rather than engage logic and grey matter..
All inputs appreciated.
Best regards.

Not too worried about the quality, would just like to see the images.
Looks a bit like junk, but I would like to see what it outputs.

I ended up using microfibre cloths for dust removal. I also use Gepe glass slide mounts to hold the neg or slide truly flat as the provided carraige will not.
It's a life sentance type of job. But worth it for the shots you want.
Best of luck.

The Nikon 12-24 is a full frame lens but one designed in the digital era - hence it transmits light evenly across a large frame. If it had been a film era design then you would have seen quite radically different results.
If Pentax were to launch a "Full Frame" sensor then they would really need a new range of lenses to go with it - just like Nikon and Canon users have discovered. This is another reason why all your old Pentax glass is best served by an APS-C sensor
So basically, the consumer is being dragged up the garden path by the short n curley's? K10D wrote:
