I had the 200 until it was stolen and I replaced it with the 300.
The 200 was more comfortable as it had a diagonal strap to eliminate any tendancy for the shoulder strap to slide down.
There is no diagonal strap on my 300 and the bag DOES slip off the shoulder.
I am about to look at a Billingham.

To me, there seems to be a basic problem with compatability between the K10D and the 540 flash. Most of my photos turn out underexposed when using P-TTL.
Is the flashgun "fit for purpose"?

Is this problem occurring with the K20D?

Neil

I use the AF 140C for close-up dental work.

The latest KEH catalogue arrived recently and there were 3 AF 140C's for sale.

I remember an announcement from Pentax re. forthcoming prrime 200 and 300mm DA lenses?

This must be nearly 6 months ago and as yet I have not seen sight nor sound of them.

Have they been consigned to the medium format outfile??

Try this-

scroll the pictures until the water level is horizontal with the top frame of your internet browser or picture viewer.
In these cases, they are not horizontal and it is not the frame of the viwer!

By the way, has anyone bothered to check the obvious? how much lager was consumed during the shoot??

Neil

Yep, got 1.3.

Glad you acknowledge your work, except that it didna help me.

Could there be a problem with the hardware Matt, or is it a software problem between my ears?

This has been bugging me as well-

I too use a K10D (John Riley's fault!)
I am getting better results with the camera flash than with the AF540FGZ in auto pttl digital mode (with the camera settings unchanged).
I am not using any diffusers or fancy techniques, except for reading and following the manual supplied both with the flashgun and with the camera. I even bought the Magic Lantern guide for the K10D.
Although I printed off and read the comprehensive flash guide from this forum ( thanks to the author whose name escapes me), I cannot get my head round this "problem" of underexposure.
Are there any known problems with compatability or any faulty batches I should be aware of?

Neil



Nil Desperandum

ps.
I lost my original settings and had to rejoin the forum.

Thought it was just me.
I am a new kid on the block with a K10D and 540 flash,
In ato mode pttl, images are dark, in some cases I get better results with the onboard flash.
I am running v1.2
Has anyone noticed any improvement with v1.3 as someone suggested?
