Err, June 18th, between 1.15 and 1.16 PM ?

The bad weather is not limited to UK. Down here in southern spain we had about 4 inches of rain overnight on Friday. Saturday morning I had to bail out my cellar . . . 2 ft deep in water and mud and clay. Not a pretty sight but luckily nothing damaged.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the 8" telescope that's making the difference here.

Excellent definition. Great pic.

You will need to update your cameras firmware to make use of the wireless capabilities of your flash.

As for how it works, George said it all.

Pete,

If more in-camera sharpening is what you really want, sell your Pentax kit, and buy Canon. This in-camera sharpening business has been explained to you many times, by many people. It ain't going in, is it?

Pentax users DON'T WANT IT, comprende?

If you are not getting enough sharpening in camera, then Pentax is not for you. That said, I remember you saying during your Canon v Pentax tests that you couldn't see much difference. So what's your problem?

Get used to it, or get rid. Just don't keep dragging the same old thing up here.

Yep, that's the one I have except the picture doesn't show the stainless stell clamp for fixing to the bracket.

I was after a slightly more technical solution so I've posted another thread as this is really OT.

I just can't get the thing apart to cut the connections to the shoe. I only want to use AF500FTZ, AF540FGZ flashes, I have no older ones left that I would ever use atop the grip.

Thanks Matt but I'm not sure we are talking about the same kit. I have a hot shoe grip which I'd rather like to use but all of the later flash manuals state not to use the new guns on older 3 pin kit. The hot shoe on top of the grip is all plastic too.

I had a similar problem with some tripod mount hotshoe adapters that also had a metal plate for the shoe. I did manage to file enough metal away that my AF360's work fine now. It's that 4th (most forward) pin that's the problem, or rather, is affected by the shoe.

Matt, can you explain how you 'hacked' the bracket please? Is this the hot shoe grip?

I think an in-camera interval timer would be extremely useful.
Does anybody know of an add-on that would achieve this?
