Cool! There are a number of places I could go to for this...

Huddersfield has some old mills...

There is an old dilapidated mill near here...

I'd rather have the DA*55 and DA*200 The DA*60-250 would be good as well...

Even so, stick it on a K100DS and you have a lot higher sales for people going from P&S cameras...

It doesn't fit on the K10D without some modification and even then it does not match up perfectly. Same as putting the K10D's grip on the GX-10.

The Metz flash supports Wireless P-TTL and has USB updatable firmware which means even if a new camera or protocol is released Metz should be able to program a new firmware.

Had a look at the Metz 58 AF-1 P-TTL?

As for a lens the DA40 1:2.8 is supposed to be very good. Ant the size is fantastic.

Lightroom? Ok, it now costs more than it used to but as a RAW work flow tool and library it is excellent. You may as well have a look at the 30 day trial and see if you like it or not.

Amazon seems to be the cheapest place to get it at the moment:

The DA40F2.8 Ltd is quite a good lens nearly matching the FA43 Ltd!

I'll have to come back with instructions as scanned I can't guarantee that it will print the same on an other printer or that it will scan at the correct size.

I have the dimensions written down just need to put it together with instructions.

I have just built a new one which works better than the previous one. I'll have to scan my design so anyone can use it.

It should work with the Pentax 50mm macro lens as well and with a few modifications to the design and length I can make a 100mm macro version.

Here are some pictures of the reflector attached to the camera:

The coverage of this one is much better and light falloff is longer so it works from 25cm to 1m. It is also wider than my last design so works at wider settings (but I doubt it will work under 28mm). I have not tested the focal length limitations but if you want close up work you want the best magnification ratio which is why this is made for 55mm close up.
