I agree with Martin, for the same reasons I have been less inclined to partake recently, even though the new style seems to be better than it started out, I still think it has just lost that homespun magic touch.
However, I think Dr Mhuni's idea is a good one, with the proviso of being two weekly and pictures to have been taken specifically for the theme.
I would be happy to join in again

The others needed anything between +60um and -20um adjustment.
I now have the K10D set up for the DA* 300mm.
Why else would they build in the ability to make these per lens adjustments? Answer, because it's needed.
How do you go about making this 'um' adjustment on K10D please, is it in the manual?The others needed anything between +60um and -20um adjustment.

I am surpised to hear that... how much out of focus are we talking here and which in particular lenses Peter?... my tests show that each of my Pentax AF lenses needs a different focus offset. The K20D handles it, the K10D doesn't. ..

Press the Fn button and the down arrow to select the flash mode...
In Av mode you can have the choice of normal, slow, slow+rear-curtain etc. Here's the thing:
* in "normal" the camera meters solely for the flash and nothing else.
* in "slow" or "slow trailing curtain sync" the camera meters for the ambient and lets the flash do the fill in

I have tried the above method and it seems the shutter speeds are too slow and underexposed at say 200iso, plus you dont get the pre-flash which I thought tells the flash how much exposure to flash. what am I doing wrong please?
PS) Are you saying this would be best for using in daylight situations maybe and not for indoor shots?
Seems the only decent correct exposures I am getting at the moment is when
I set camera to AV mode, 200iso, White Balance Flash, Camera Flash Mode set to 'slow-speed sync+Red-eye and flash gun in P-TTL.
Tupperware arrived today and it does make for a more natural light, very nice

Lilly, you really must get to grips with technical terms.
The "wee plastic thingy" (assuming you mean the white plastic card) is the catchlight panel.
Oh thank you Peter I will try! Any suggestions for the Sto-Fen Omni-Bounce Flash Diffuser tha is coming shortly, it IS such a mouthful Lilly, you really must get to grips with technical terms.

Been checking out the prices of the K20 and SRS are selling body only for £579, but for £795 you get battery grip and 16-45, that seems a good deal, has anyone seen any better deals elsewhere?
Are those of you who have now had the K20 for sometime really impressed with its performance and if so tempt me with a few comments, please?
Also, can you confirm battery grip is compatible with K10 also?
cheers, Lilly
