It doubles as a hip flask too. Pour in 25cl of your favourite tipple into the cap on the right for those cold crisp morning shoots.

Couldn't be your eyes beginning to lose focus then Mike?

Looks like you might have a AF200SA that's had it's hot shoe mount replaced with the wrong one. The AF200SA has only On/Off and Test switches on the back.
There is only one model of AF200T which likes like the image you've posted unless there was another model for a different geographical market having the same name.

Welcome to the forum Steve. I suppose we'll have to think of a suitable penance now.
I confess:-
- My Pentax gear is more capable than I am of using it, but I'm getting there. Until then . . .
- I delete more photographs than I keep.
- I used to upgrade my DSLR when a new model came out, but I'm cured of that now.

Lightroom is a complete digital photography package. It'll accept raw images, convert them to compressed (lossless) DNG if you prefer, manipulate them in just about any way you want, produce slideshows, and print them in a variety of ways. I use Lightroom for 99% of my work, PS-CS4 for any really clever stuff, which is mostly beyond me anyway.

For bugs/creatures that might sting/bite/disappear, 100mm is about the minimum I would go for. The Tamron 90mm would be usable also. I think the 35mm and 50mm macros are just a bit too close for my liking, great for flowers and the like though.

I can personally recommend the SMCP-FA 100mm 1:2.8 Macro lens. It's stunning, if a little heavy.
Many here like the Sigma 105mm as well. But to me, size matters, which is why I bought the 180mm.
Mike-P has a D-FA version for sale right now.

Thinking laterally, if you take 2 x hot shoe adapters having female synch sockets and stack them together (not on camera), that would give you a female to female connector, albeit a very large one.
You'd then need 2 x male to female (extension) leads to join the Wein and the flash electrically.

Lightroom for Digital Photographers is one I can recommend.
