The dedication module will almost certainly be for TTL operation (which your K10D doesn't have - hence it's of no use). Full manual control *is* useful as that makes it useable on pretty much any camera made in the last half-century (and a lot before) if you don't mind doing your own settings. If the head is of the tilt/swivel variety (allowing you to adjust the direction of the light) then maybe £15 isn't such a bad price after all...

No more than about £2.

I dont like auto ISO so I shoot almost exclusively at a single ISO.

But why do you want to press the green button in Av mode ?
I only use the green button in
1. Manual, to set a shutter speed.
2. In Hyper Program to set a Program exposure.
I think I was confused about the fact that it changes Iso, and not just for Av ! I'm surprised it does anything really ! Same for Tv, of course. Just a way of reseting back to Auto Iso I suppose ??

In Av mode: front wheel ISO, rear wheel aperture.
In Tv mode: front wheel shutter speed, rear wheel ISO.
BUT, if u press the Green button in say.. Av mode, u set the Auto Iso ! if u then go to Tv ot P etc. it's still set to Auto and I don't want that !!
I'll learn to live with it no doubt ! Have to remember not to use Green button in certain modes.
Thanks all

Following mattmatic's suggestion, mine are set up so that the camera is normally on auto ISO, but moving the front wheel adjusts the ISO to whatever you want. Then pressing the green button returns it to auto ISO
Please expound

Odd, mine does not do that in manual mode or Hyper Program mode. How are you setting the ISO in the first place ?
Maybe I'm over confusing this, and myself
It's a pity u can't set Auto to just ONE Iso, but u can't !
(latest firmware, for those asking)

If you paid 15 quid for that I think you've done well but measure the voltage. I have a small Hannimex and it's 300v plus - chip shop time I think.
