Congrats to Sue for a splendid shot.
Another good case for lens hoods.
And an excellent example of team photography. John you're obviously good bait!

How do we "Pay Already?"
I've gone and missed something AGAIN!

Boy, do I need your book! And yes, that sure helps.
If you want to Beta test your book on a "Flash For Dummies" type - I'm your guy!
Thanks for the explanation and suggestions - can't wait to try them out.

Coming to grips with my K110D - loving it so far!
The pop-up flash works a treat in all modes, and I have a little AF200Sa which does to same. This little external flash really doesn't have much more reach than the pop-up so not worth the effort.
My AF200S and sadly, my AF280T, doen't behave at all. Seem to blast out full power no matter what.
I was hoping the AF280T would work TTL or even Auto thyristor, as it has a longer reach than the pop-up, and can be swivel/tilted.
Seems no matter what I do, I get completely blown-out images, unless I'm really far away or AV my f stops way down - pure hit and miss.
The K110D manual only covers the pop-up and AF360FGZ, AF540FGZ external units. Fair ball. Just leaves me wondering why the little AF200Sa (Program) unit works so well.
I'm sure I'm missing something?
Or it's time for a 540FGZ?

Beakynet, a dramatic shot - great bokeh!
I have a pristine f4 55mm SMC MACRO in screw mount and the good Bower Pentax M42/PK adapter (2nd one just arrived from the US - $25.00 shipped).
I haven't had a chance to try it on my K110D yet, but used to love this lens on my Spotmatics.
Would like your thoughts on whether the 1.5 factor on digital will be a detriment or an added advantage?
Thanks,
And SORRY! I've gone and hijacked another thread!

Now that I look at my 110's again........ I see the resemblence!
Wouldn't that be something? And with Pentax's commitment to backward compatibility, we could use all those wonderful lenses!

Congratulations, that looks like quite a find!
Can't help with its mate - good luck with that.
Cheers,
