Please fellow Pentaxians, I may use some good advice....soon, in few weeks I m off to southwest england for holidays. I am planning to spend some time in dartmoor and exmoor and Bristol. Maybe Cornwall as well. I was looking for interesting places to visit, so far I am decided that Wistman's Wood and Tarr Steps could be a nice places to visit and photograph. But I am looking for any suggestions, locations which are interesting in that areas. I would appreciate if you could advise....cheers...

Hi, pm sent with query....

Hi Mannesty, I tried it....it doesn't work at all....every touch of the shutter buttons sets flash back to TTL, tried it also with 540FGZ aand the same problem happens.

Hi fellow Pentaxians...anybody of you figured out the way how to use dSLR with PENTAX FTZ 500 flash in Manual mode? I have this flash attached to K-5, when I switch it on, I set in the Manual mode on flash, so I can have full control. But as soon as I touch the shutter button on K-5 the flash mode automatically changes to auto TTL mode. Is there any settings in K-5 menu, which I need to change or what am I doing wrong? How do I prevent K-5 from changing to ttl mode whenever I touch the shutter button?

man, that is good price and excellent lens...i just bought myself one

Agreed, even with SMC at F1.2 K50 has visibly less contrast than at smaller apertures....deep hood also helps - I used takumar telephoto hood and it improved things a bit...

Hi Transit, Algi....thanks for your replies...

smc - £130 for the K version seems to me awfully low, at that price there is not really a point of selling the lens...

Algi, how is this ee-s screen....i am contemplating buying one for myself, but deciding between ee-s and nikon k-3 split screen....both seem to have very good feedback

wow, nice price and great little lens...

hmmm...maybe I asked the wrong question....

- just based on those two f1,8 shots - I actually think the bokeh is tiny bit smoother with the DA 50/1,8 while F50/1,4 has a bit crisper colours....but I am spliting hairs here
