Been using the onboard flash a bit and decided to see what I could find in the way of a diffuser.
Anyway, here is my first effort.
Pics taken straight out the camera and just converted to jpeg.

What is the diffuser :

It's the plastic contact cover that comes on the K10D battery.
Sits on there very nicely with a little encouragement.

The K10D is certainly not as sexy from the front though ...

Just had the latest price list from the local electronics hypermarket.
Would be the same as a very large discount version of Comet I suppose.

There is also the issue of supporting your local (i.e. UK) shopkeeper, which is something that we have discussed in the past
I have enough problems understanding my local shopkeeper never mind trying to find one that will sell me a Sigma 180mm macro lens in Pentax mount.

And before anyone says anything, yes I know it is my fault and I should learn more Spanish.

I would be interested to know the answer as well as I am maybe after the Sigma 180mm macro and it seems a fair bit cheaper on Ebay (when they are available).

It doesn't look as bulky as the Pentax one.
Can you see all the metering info inside the view finder ok :

BTW you need to get that dandruff looked at
You have to look down slightly to see all the metering info, I suppose I shouldn't really say this but I rarely look at it anyway

I must say though, doesn't the K10D look damn sexy from the rear.
Better not let the wife see me saying that though, she may begin to wonder about me.

Couple of photos.
Amazing how much the dust shows when you get close up ... I really must have a go at that macro stuff.
