Yep you can use pretty much any flash, but make sure it has manual power settings. You can use most types of triggers too. AFAIK none support PTTL. I went for the ultra cheap Chinese ones off ebay. I use Minolta 4000AF flashes which are dirt cheap and have 5 power settings.

That's a good point and one I'd not thought of. I had a feeling the SR wasn't quite as good in my K30 as my Kr but that coincides with when I changed to BBF. Makes me wonder.

Shake reduction is also activated on the shutter button half press, I think.

Another superb image Alan.

Nigel was talking about the image content issues not how to scale the image to print.

It may be obvious but it is a separate issue to the photo resizing topic, which has been done to death before

Nigel, I understand what you're getting at here. It's not about the method of resizing a shot for print (or whether it's worth bothering at all - Siskin press say 'just give us the original size and let our printers handle the scaling!')

It's about whether there is blur, or lens artefacts, or noise, that limit the potential acceptable size of the print.

Seriously... you ought to get a book together.

The SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.4 is a fantastic lens for IR, which in fact is what I use it for most. I nowadays use it on a converted Sony Nex 5N, but here's a couple taken on a Pentax.
The blurriness at the bottom of the first one is due to the window it was taken through and not the lens.

Amazing shots, Jonathon.
