well done

I know adobe allow you to instsall photoshop cs5.1 extended on a maximum of 2 computers as i bought it on monday and have registered it successfully on 2 computers using my online account so i woud think its the same for lightroom - if you go to purchase it direct from adobe they have online help and they will be able to answer your question.

for the price it looks good for a flash with pttl compatibility and srs are and excellent retailer - i use a metz 50af1 with a k7 and 16-45 plus other lenses without problem - the only drawback i can see it that the head does not rotate but then neither does the pentax cheaper unit and the price of the metz is much cheaper so appears to fit your needs.

it should work fine but remember that your flashes dont have a pc sync connector on them so you may need to get a hot shoe adaptor with a pc socket on it

i use the cheap cactus triggers and they work well so i see not reason why these should not and it you get no success you still have a remote

i buy quite a lot from ebay but not really expensive stuff - i have had a few problems reciently like a circular polariser that was not circular but the seller refunded my money and i am in the process of returning it so no issues really as the seller was no problem at all i imagine they did not realise. i got a good bargian of a 67mm sigma circular polariser for around 8 pounds and have just bought a metz flash from srs via ebay as it was a few pounds cheaper and i know they are a reliable company. non photographically we got a good deal on some sofa covers and vet bedding for our dog who has sensitive skin i think its a case of cheking thier feedback rating etc.

i have the lg mentioned here and its very good for a budget monitor - much better than my glossy laptop screen

just bought one via srs ebay

thanks for the advice - much appriciated
cheers

HI All

I am looking in to getting a decent flash for my K7 specifically to utilise the pttl features, rear curtain sync,hss etc - i allready have a nikon sb80dx which i am happy with in manual and auto mode but would like a good flash i can use on the camera and use the nikon off camera as a slave - interestingly the nikon works well as a slave with the pop up flash on the camera as a master and works remotly with rear curtain sync etc.

I was initially looking for/at a second hand Pentax540fgz but am also interested in the metz 50af1 which is a good price at srs

my concerns about both units is quality - i have read the the pentax unit had a flimsy battery door and hotshoe and the the metz can have problems with the zoom function and hotshoe locking pin but if i buy from srs so I am sure that would be covered by warranty as i have dealt with them before and thier service is very good.

any advice on the matter would be appriciated
thanks
will

you have a pm
cheers
