Great capture Peter. I am sure the subject would have been very tickled.

One advantage the Cactus RF60X has over the Pentax flash units is the 1/3 stop increments in manual output control. (Perhaps the Yongnuo flash does too ?)
This is a real advantage if you mount the flash on-camera, as the Pentax units only have whole stop graduations in manual.
It is less of an advantage if you use the cactus triggers as they can manually power the Pentax flash units in 1/3 stops.

I don't know anything about the Youngnuo units I am afraid. But I can recommend the Cactus V6II triggers combined with Cactus RF60X flash unit.
The RF60X has a built in radio receiver so you only need one trigger for the camera hotshoe. You get full flash control directly from the hotshoe mounted trigger, and can operate in manual or P-TTL mode. It works very well for me.
You also get HSS capability

Yes I like this. Light, shadow, texture, it has it all.
I wish i had not sold my FA 24-90. Would have made a fine lightweight alternative to the DFA 24-70

Peter. Nice one but it's a shame it's not FF.
CHEERS Vic.
My understanding is that the lens covers the FF image circle. The K1 manual lists it together with the DA*200 and DA*300 as having lens correction information in both FF and crop mode.Peter. Nice one but it's a shame it's not FF.
CHEERS Vic.

Lovely Image Peter... But I'm sorry. This guy should have gone to jail for tax avoidance...!!
