Care to share some of your family pics with us then?

Interesting. I scored 3.

This should be interesting too, when I have time to read it.

1: Charge your battery(s). This step is most important, don't skip it..
2: Format an SD card in camera.
3: Remove SD card from camera and place in a card reader.
4: Copy fwdc204b.bin file to root folder (directory) of the SD card (not in a sub-folder). If your card shows as drive F:, copy the file to drive F
5: Return SD card to camera.
6: Press and hold Menu button.
7: Power on the camera.

You should see a message that informs you of your current FW version, and that a new one is available on the CD card.

Follow the on-screen instructions to update.

Lovely images.

Most shopping malls are privately owned and are therefore private property. It's refreshing to learn that some do allow photography because there is some really interesting architecture about nowadays.

I find that very difficult to believe as the 50mm 1:1.7 in it's various forms is one of the sharpest 50mm lenses you'll find anywhere.

There are other causes of lack of sharpness, camera movement and inappropriate settings for the scene to name two. Could one or both of these be the cause?

Just think Danny, you alone could be responsible for that mod.

Mind you, I wouldn't describe 3 grips & 2 bodies as "the rear e-dial may rarely become unstable".

Given that there is a huge selection of "50mm SMC" lenses, it might help the OP if you could narrow your recommendation to 1 or 2 specific lenses.

The ranges include SMCP, SMCP-M, SMCP-A, SMCP-F, SMCP-FA. Lenses within those ranges have maximum apertures of 1:1.2, 1:1.4, 1:1.7, 1:2, and 1:1.8 if you count the older 55mm.

That's a bewildering array of lenses to choose from.

PS: I corrected your spelling mistake. The word lens has no 'e' on the end.

George,

As Clarky says, it's so easy to use, but that's not the half of it. The ability to vary the proportion of light from one half of the ring to the other gives a bit of modelling (shadows) to the images, rendering them much more natural looking than can be achieved with either of it's predecessors.

It's primarily P-TTL capable but I believe when fitted to older bodies it can also use TTL. I'd read up on the manual to certify that statement though. I seem to recall reading it somewhere.

If you've half a mind to get one . . . that's probably all you need . It would have been a killer flash if it had wireless though, like the other Pentax guns.

The Pentax flash is an exceptionally good flash. It would have been even better if they'd given it wireless capabilities as well.

I had both the AF080C and AF140C before it and on P-TTL cameras the AF160FC is miles better.

For macro work, it's excellent. The wireless bits would have been useful in the studio.

Yes, not a lot really. If you right click it, copy link location, then you can paste it into another thread to link back to topic you linked from.

Confused, you will be.

I think what most of us do is to copy the contents of the address dialog box. It does the same thing.
