Thanks Chris for your comments. It is very good that you point out your view. This is the only way to learn and improve. I could do much to blur the background since pentax's syn speed is only 1/160 with a wireless trigger. Perhaps I will need to buy some ND filters in order to darken the sunlight and try to shoot with larger aperture. Many shots I done I had to stop down to F9-F11 and the shots that I could blur the background is those I didn;t use any fill in flash at all and it is very hard to control shadow and I was the only person shooting so a reflector wasn;t an option for me.

Hope someone will come up with a wireless trigger system with high speed syn.

I doubt that buying from HK hurts Pentax. Presumably they lever a similar profit margin, you are just avoiding paying taxes and our higher supplier margins.
I'm not bothered who buys what from there, it was the conflicting posts I found amusing.

As for flashes .. I bought Metz, just as good and quite a bit cheaper.
Sorry, I mean I keep buying pentax products to try to keep pentax alive and hope they will one day go full frame. And the tax system in UK or Europe doesn;t really help any consumer or business. Just cut VAT to 0% and tourist from other country will come to spend money in here and more money will be available in the economy, more people have job, everyone happy.

you are compareing the top end flash with the low end camera. The flash seems very cheap comapre to the 645D high end camera.

I think Canon sells their high end flash for more.

I keep buying pentax product just for the shake of keeping alive and develop a full frame camera. Yet I don;t have the money to buy a 645D.

But yes I paid £300 for my 540 brand new 2 years ago.

Yes I do have a grip on the K20D, does that make the camera freeze?
