If it bothered me I would contact eBay and ask for clarification.
I think this means that the first person to pay the reserve price or more will get it at the reserve price. So if my bid is £210 then I'll pay the reserve price of £199.99, not £210.

Well, as the new company is called Pentax Ricoh Imaging Company, what does that make us?
I do hope they don't start a Knowledgebase.

Cactus V5's should suit your requirements.

If the iShoot transmitter has a test button, what happens when you press it? Do both flashes fire OK?
Have you tried changing the radio channel?
My guess is the fault lay with the radio tx/rx's rather than the camera/flash.

If you believe the review, you won't buy one. If you believe what users say about this lens, you probably will.
The DA* 16-50mm lens is a very good performer in almost all scenarios. Yes it had it's problems when first introduced, but I think these have largely been sorted now.
I returned my first two copies for focussing issues. My third, made much later than the previous two, hasn't put a foot wrong and is my 2nd most used lens. My DA* 60-250mm has had a little more exercise than the 16-50mm, but not much.

ROR certainly sounds a very good product and has worldwide distribution too.
Cheaper here than on ebay.

Most of my walkabout photography is done with the DA*16-50mm or the DA*60-250mm. Macro is handled by the FA & D-FA 100m and Sigma 180mm macro lenses.
When I want to challenge myself, I'll pick one prime from my arsenal and go out and see what I can find.
I'll not be selling any of the others that only get occasional use for a while yet though, whether I 'need' them, or not.

When inventing SDM why should anybody switch back to normal AF?
You can disable the SDM focussing by regressing to an older firmware version which is pre-sdm if your camera was made during the transitional period and it has a pre-sdm version of firmware, but it's not very easy to do.
