Yep, I am not sure why they object to free advertising. After all, a camera is a camera, and Pentax ones take good images. Also I would not offer it for free. If you charged 5 dollars a month, and had no advertising, would Pentax still object if you did not mask out their name?

Ok thanks guys, I will take the page down in the morning, so it won't be available any more. I am pleased to have tried it and had such fast confirmation. Now the real thing begins in a week or two when I do a family of 4 portrait. I did it before Christmas, but want to go back and do better.

Thanks for that confirmation. So I am on the right tracks. I am looking forward to picking up the second light stand and umbrella.

Yep I know it is slow, sorry didn't want to reduce in size just for a test. Usually when I put images up they are reduced to 100kb or thereabouts.

So which do you like the best?

I prefer F16 although I like the F32 one too.

My Flash meter suggested F32 at ISO 200, and also showed + 2/3 OVER.

sorry it will in a minute or two with explanation. It is up now. All shots are different only in F-Stop from F32 to 5.6, ISO 200, 1/125 using as I said one brolly on right hand side with flash coming through it. Same flash pointed at subject directly on left side. Pentax K100D and pop up flash triggering the other 2 Pentax 360FGZ's.

You just roll over the thumbnails, just on my website.

Here I have placed a test html page. Starting with the first image taken at F32.

If you click each picture, you get the file name which tells you the F stop used. Also it gives the meta data.

I used one umbrella on the right, one flash on the left pointing directly at subject. Also pop up flash on Pentax K100D.

Which do you say is the best image.

My favourite one is at F16. But which one is "correct"?

Thanks for the test, then that's what I will do when I get the K10D back.

That was just what I was going to try changing, when the flash system failed! It will be the first thing I try when I get my beloved K10D back.

Thanks. I am getting there. So it seems with a Transmitter and Receivers, one must set the whole lot camera, flashes on manual. I actually use manual on the camera a lot more than any other mode apart from AV, so the next time my pop-up flash goes crap on me, what you describe is certainly an option. I did read however somewhere that not all Transmitters/Receivers work with all cameras.
