The 2nd shot is lighter. It is evident in the whole shot but the giveaway is that I can see detail in the shadows where I cannot in the 1st image.

I think it is a USA bus. The SRS tour bus sounds like a good plan. They're introducing Pentax lens rental soon, so how about a mobile library type affair, touring the UK.

I did a quick search & came up with these:

No Manc sightings on the web that I can find. Who's going to be the first to capture one ?

No time/date constraints were needed in that post really. I'm sure the guys will save you a slice of weather & post it out to you Wales, in early 2010, better make sure you have weather sealed gear.

Stefan, also take a look at the Zeiss 100mm Makro Planar. Hopefully you will also be able to try one. I have seen some astounding results with this lens.
Also for a much, much cheaper option, take a look at the Samyang/Vivitar/Falcon 85mm F1.4's at around £200. They are at their sharpest at a wide aperture & actually get worse stopped down. But that's ok as you have the Pentax 100mm which will be hard to best when you want to stop down.

Yeah but your Hasselblad only goes up to iso 800 Oggy wrote:
Looks like a promising start. One thought though, not lens related. If the exif data is correct you took that shot at ISO 200 at 1/4000th. Personally I'd have dropped down to ISO 100 as with a subject like that you do not need the speed.
if i could i would of but my ist ds only starts from iso 200 and ends at 3200, i just wish pentax would bring their iso down to 50 or 64 like most other cameras, my fuji starts at 64 then goes right up to 6400.Looks like a promising start.

Think you've got flash on the brain there Mike, I presume you meant "huge flash to illuminate even a small church"Going to be a huge flash to illuminate even a small flash I'd say.

I'd agree, use a tripod or monopod if allowed & the K-x has very good iso performance so don't be afraid to bump it up if not using a tripod.
Also, if you do use a tripod, try the in-built HDR function to achieve a more balanced exposure. You may want to consider a wider lens rather than a flash ?
If it's a trip you're not going to repeat soon & the interior shots are important to you, the best advice I could give is to practice. Visit some local churches & ask if you could take some photos, you can always offer a few prints as a thank-you. This way you will have a firm starting point for technique & the best settings to use.
