I have an older style ring flash - looking forward to using it this weekend.

Matt - could you elaborate? I didn't know Pentax had protection circuitry. That would be good news

I think the Vivitar is an older style TTL flash. I have the 530FD version with two auto modes, TTL and manual. It should be fine on auto modes or manual. The flash trigger voltage may be an issue when using an older flash on a new DSLR. Anything above around 10-12v (some say even lower) may cause damage to the camera's circuitry. It is probably worth checking this before use.

My 35/2 Super Takumar is very nice. You may have just received a dud sample.

Kim - that IS nice. Was it made in black?

Another way to put this is, which lens would you least like to be stolen?
For me, the 77mm Ltd.

It all depends how you look at it. I think that compared to paying £209.95 for a Pentax MX with 50mm f1.7 lens in lets say 1985 (I haven't checked the exact date for that price).
