A link to the site would be useful.

I'm confused. What is the point of your post? On the one hand you mention "prices are exceptionally low and seem to have huge stocks of some very expensive items"

then "if any of you guys can throw extra light on this issue". What is the issue?

Thak you John. They were taken at the Mirador Corazon de Jesus, La Santa, just on the Totana side of Aledo.

If it is a misprint, they made the same mistake twice . . . nearly.

Quoted from their site.

Every move Pentax UK makes on pricing . . . helps to make other makers gear look more attractive .

Great strategy Pentax UK . . . not.

The AF500FTZ is an older TTL (non P-TTL) and manual flash but it has an interesting strobe function. That is, multiple flashes within one exposure.

I think it could produce some interesting 'liquid art' images.

Probably not worth buying for that alone, but it is an exceptionally good flash.

Oh, and it's a fraction of the price of an AF540FGZ, less than £100 if you are prepared to wait for one on ebay.

I think it's true to say that just about any and every true macro lens will be a good performer when used for macro work because that's exactly what they are designed to do well. They can of course be used for 'normal' pics but some perform this role better than others.

All you need to decide really is which focal length will suit your chosen subject best.

If you have a passion for King Cobras for instance, the longer the better I'd say. You might not be in a position to take many if you were choose a 35mm macro lens, for example.

90mm is good, 100mm+ is better, 180mm (Sigma) is even better still in my opinion. I'd love an SMCP-FA 200mm macro lens, but I'd like to keep my wife too .

In fact, if Pentax ever produce a SMCP-DA* 200mm 1:2.8 Macro lens . . . I'd go for it, even if it did require a mortgage.

Welcome.

Whole head, I'm a foot man myself. You won't see any in my pics

These images are fabulous Amin, now all you need is an AF500FTZ flash. When you have one, you'll know why ? ? ? ? ?

You can customise the function of the wheels in the custom menu on the K10/20D, I'd be very surprised (annoyed) if it's different on the K-7.

Please make sure the camera is well anchored, it'd be a shame to drop it. I hear they don't bounce too well.
