Thanks for help guys! I have noticed sort of issue with my K20D, whenever I set PEF or DNG, it shows same number of frames to take. So I have check one more time file size and PEF/11MB, DNG/24MB. So how is that possible to save on same SD card same number of files but different size of file?!

I had one in my hands yesterday. I agree that is matter of colour choice. I have noticed that side grip is designed much better then standard K5. Fingers just stick to body and handling is IMHO perfect, but propably K5+grip does the job too

I will refresh topic and ask which format is better with K20D.
Don't know if that helps but I use Elements 8, it reads both DNG and PEF. Feel free to laugh but how shall I understand "more future proof then PEF"?
My PEF's takes around 13MB and DNG 25MB, and quality is same so where is a catch? I checked that PEF saved to JPG is more or less 4-6MB (JPG at max quality) and DNG around 12MB.

Finally I came back to Pentax DSLR, but I don't have a flash with camera.
I've tried to buy Metz 48 as I had before but it looks that is really diffucult to buy one. So far I found Metz 70 MZ5 but with Nikon mount. I research that hammer head flashes are using different adaptors. So far I know that 70 MZ5 needs adaptor SCA-3702(for Pentax), which I can buy from Microglobe and it says that works with Metz 70-MZ5.
Did anybody been using this flash in past, or maybe have one and can say anything about it? For how long battery last for? Is it possible to buy some accesories for it? If anybody can say anything about this flash and how that works, if they are any problems, speciall requiments to adaptors, I'll be happy to hear that!

Hi guys, I'm thinking about Metz 58 (because I can't find any Metz 48, unless somebody has it for sale )
Do you think that price of £219(BN) is good for Metz 58?!
