The German online dealers are listing it around EUR 450.
Eg Technik Direkt is currently showing EUR 443:

Hopefully, price is going to be similar in the UK, otherwise there won't be much point buying it here.

Try take a look in the kit section on this forum. A few have posted pictures of their macro kit. Might be worth a look.

While $800 does sound steep, compared to the prices well-used FA*85's fetch it almost seems like a giveaway!
Yeah my thoughts as well. Still it needs to be at this level to get the price that high from new.While $800 does sound steep, compared to the prices well-used FA*85's fetch it almost seems like a giveaway!
What is the normal rate for a new lens in the UK. When it is $800. I think I read somewhere that the rate is 1$ = 1 £ when it comes to camera and lens prices?

Yes that is true. It depends on the task.
I will fire the flash from 1 or 2 sides. Sometimes from the ground and up too as well. I hope to add more flashes later.
I agree - your setup works - and that is what I have used so far indoor as well. I just want to expand my range a bit now.

If you are just wanting to fire your 360/540 remotely I followed Matt's advice and bought a very cheap AF160 flash from ebay and use that to trigger my 360 in dumb slave mode. I found that using the internal flash on the K10D was hit or miss as the "preflash" often set off the main flash which then didn't have time to recharge.
Cheers Kris.
Sorry but that is not an option - that won't work outside - and will have many misfires. I have tried that a number of times.If you are just wanting to fire your 360/540 remotely I followed Matt's advice and bought a very cheap AF160 flash from ebay and use that to trigger my 360 in dumb slave mode.

Sometimes you also hide the flash under rocks or so - to avoid it in the shot. You will need line of sight or dark condition to use as a dumb slave outside.
I got an offer last night on some skyports - and I'm interested in Amoringellos reply. Don seems to love his set....I have a chance to try them out before buying them. So that will give me some kind of QC.

My opinion is to go with anything other than Skyports.
Look up several of my other posts on the subject. In short, they are no better than eBay triggers but at ten times the cost. Support from Elinchrom is atrocious! Quality for their equipment (remotes and lights) is sub-par.
Others seem to have better luck with the remotes, so I don't know if they ever had to deal with the support side.
What kind of problems did you have? Was it misfires - trigger problems? My opinion is to go with anything other than Skyports.

From what I have read about the skyports - most people love them.
I'm interested in your pentax opinion. Is the problems Pentax related?
