Sounds like me your a flash man then, with those kind of settings theonenadeem.. ? It was only f5.6 as I suspect the permanent lights were generating all the power they could. And not seen any images as yet other than Facebook postings,, Which are only kinda 3x2 So hard to tell if they would make a print.

Heres a couple of mine.... Don't laugh..! well not oit loud anyhow...lol

Yes guess so....! Never really gave it a thought, just panicked...lol What you get mixing with professionals, and out of your depth..

Hi All.

Just a general query/question. Last night I was asked to go along and try my luck with a local photographer at his studio. Along with some models. With a Christmas shoot..

Let me point out first here I love working with models, doing shoots. But hate the very thought of Chrictmas and could easily play scrooge any day of the week...lol

Anyway back to the question. When I arrived with just my K1+ DFA 24 - 70. (As it was my first visit. Thought I'd get an easy lens changing night after work.) The owner possesed some kind of Viltrox LED lights. He had two, lighting the set. Along with a beautiful young lady a note to the set. "LIGHTING SETTINGS 1/125 sec f5.6 iso 1600.
"ISO1600...? OMG...!!
At which point my heart sank and my interest totally fell out of the shoot. I'd never used my K1 at 1600 Iso before.. Certainly not for a model shoot..! Yes I know it can perform at that level. But what is the output like. I had to make an istant decision. I was flapping. I was hopeing I may use some in local camera club competitions. So got to say, "I bottled it"..lol. and used Iso 400 and the f2.8
of the lens

Would you have used Iso 1600 on the K1. Or any other Pentax camera for that matter...?
Please pass on your thoughts..?

Enjoyed those...

Welcome aboard. pleased to have you along....!

It can also depend on the level of processing you want to do ? How many You tube videos each system has as reference. How are you going to learn the system. If your a landscaper. Do you just purchase Lanscape Pro or do you want to actually edit everything yourself. Which can be very time consuming.. None of the editors are actually bad. But has already been said. Only you can decide which one floats your boat....

So it seems Gareth. Thanks Guys...!

Would have loved to have attended. But alas a bit too far for me. Av fun y'all.

All great images.. But for me 1 & 6 are a step above the others..

Does anyone Know of a photography retailer that currently has this lens in stock please ? I dont want to purchase from Amazon in this case. Can't see it listed at SRS. Where I usually purchase from. Or Park cameras. Was waiting for the new Pentax version listed on the roadmap to be introduced this year. But with only a few weeks of the year remaining and no rumours. Looks like that will be highly unlikely...
