Tamron SP AF 70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD [IF] Macro Lens for Pentax... To give it its full title...

Nice work. Being an owner of the older version of this lens I like to see what other uses people get up to. Though here, I guess I differ from the other members. I feel the wide aperture is a little to much and has over blurred the image. the eyes and nostrils being the only sharp area. The dark area under her left eye needs some attention. . I also would tone down the red of the tee shirt a little as it tends to take the eye from the face. Also the bottom right.. Sorry if this sounds harsh. I overall think the compostion is good. It has been very well lit. A very pleasing image...

Lovely set. Enjoyed them... No2 a bit soft on the eyes for my liking..But I can see why you would point the camera... Well done, great images great memories..

Hi David.. I guess that means paying more money. Still doesnt buy you peace of mind. How easy or difficult was it to get the Pentax unit repaired ?

Welcome to the club Richard.. Off camera flash can be an interesting game. Especially as a Pentax user. I'll be interested in your comments when your unit arrives. Perhaps we can compare notes....

Hi Mike

Its a bit difficult to comment as Ive only received the unit today.. But my first impressions dont concern me.. Certainly more sturdy than my AF540 battery door...
Though having said that. I read reports of the door failing on the Yongnuo YN600EX-RT which seems to use an identical body if not the same one.. And there are reports of some door failures on that model.. Which has been on the market some considerable time now.
Though a quick look on ebay. allied my fears as the door spare was only £2.65

Forget that last question...Just discovered its for updating the firmware...I'll go back to sleep...

Great minds Nigel, I was just thinking the very same thing... I dont have a Cactus V6II at present to try out.. But I do need get one lol To work the Witstro I've ordered. In HSS... Think ive gone nuts...but exciting times ahead...

If anyones been looking into this flash at all... There's a 2.5mm Jack socket on the top right of the body.. The instruction leaflet just describes it as "Terminal" Love to know its application..?

Anyone noticed Yongnuo, Market this flash as their YN600ex-rt. Which is a direct copy of the Canon 600ex-rt. Slight price difference though.....

I fully agree Nigel "Speedlite" Just doesnt sound right somehow...!!
Just had a quick try out and im pleased to confirm your thoughts. As an off camera flash it can be triggered optically in HSS. In Slave mode Using a "Dumb" flash gun. I used my AF540FGZ. Not noticed a way to excluded the on camera flash. But indoors pointing the AF540 away from the subject seemed to do the trick.. I couldnt get the SN600 to fire the AF540 off camera in HSS mode..Though that could be me..only had a quick mess about with it..
Built quality is good. love the rubber shroud aroud the foot. Locking system is very tight far better than my Pentax..though my model is quite old now.. I believe Shanny are in the process of developing a trigger system to fire this off camera.. If that happens they will have a formidable product for us to use
