I'm not an owner of any FA * lenses. But certainly would be interested in finding out why you cant connect the Lee filter system to them ?

Just remembered. If you get a cheap Chinese holder. The best thing to get is the free Roscoe Gel trial pack from Flints... But you are charged for delivery. But many many coloured gels and unlike the Chinese ones properly listed and numbered...

As I prefer studio lighting. I don't use speedlights too much. But I do have a set. So I have been using the Chinese £2 set with the rubber band. They may not be the sleekest design that the world has to offer. But they do work perfectly well.. You don't want the gel too close as the heat from the gun burns them. So you can easily adjust the air gap. I certainly would recommend them while you go through a learning process. Investing in a possible more professional product later.. Well for two quid what do you have to lose....?

If you use the K1 in crop mode with your existing lenses. Then you get a 14Mb image. Exactly the same as you now get with your k5.
Really?
1100 Swiss Francs instead of 2200.
Half price and a time limited offer (I presume)?
Even with the limitations (for now) of using the crop area, there will be wider ISO range, GPS, WIFI and don't forget improved autofocus!
Don't forget extra weight..

You could do that, but you'll be p....ing into the wind as far as flash power goes. After 1/2000th there's very little left from a single hot shoe type flash. You could look to a double adaptor that will hold two flashes together .... Ideally this should be with a large modifier for softer light.

Otherwise you have to get the flash very close, and this rules out wider views, you have to go with long focal lengths and fairly traditional portrait framing, just to be able to have the flash at the very edge of the frame.
That's really what I was trying to say... (badly versed maybe,, ) In my opinion you always decide your background exposure in camera. Then decide If the flash power is to merely fill the shadows. Balance the image or over power the sun and pop out the subject from the background


Sometimes an ND filter can help to slow the shutter speed giving an added power to the flash. By keeping it out of HSS zone.
