Sorry, is off topic but the mention of the *ist D reminded me of the butchered *ist "D". Can't find the link now

Anyone see the butchered *ist with butchered compact camera attached as a 'digital back' for an insane crop factor with very good glass?

Erm... I thought the K110D was released after the 100 as a slightly more 'budget' model. The construction is identical to the 100 except for the CCD SR assembly.

Ah, ok... My misunderstanding.

It works fine fully manual, meaning you have to make the calculations & settings for correct exposure.

The K10D lacks any and all TTL compatibility with any Pentax flash. I think only the *istD was TTL savvy.

The newer AF360/540FGZ's use PTTL instead.

I'd say £50 is a fair price if it's in good condition. The AF500FTZ is the only flash in the Pentax lineup (AFAIK) that can strobe (multiple flashes).
The 540 can strobe but, it is 6x more than what he can get the 500 for.

I think it would work as long as you can work the flash on fully manual.

Some old flashes can apparently fry your digital camera because of the voltage, but I'm not sure how true this is. I don't want to try it with the 20yr old Metz that is lying about.

Apparently if you contact Pentax directly they can sell you this kind of thing. One of the few things you can actually get directly are hoods and caps. If that doesn't work try SRS Microsystems, I'm sure they can manage something.

It is a very expansive piece of plastic.

You mean the link that said www.pentaxuser.co.uk ...guys, is there something you aren't telling me!!!
Aye, this site promotes LBA and get you to sign up to preorders of expensive lenses and other photographic equipment.

Also special 'group meets' where you 'have fun' and 'shoot' a lot.

I just realized how bad that can actually sound

I'm not sure but this may be spam advertising that swinging site. Looks a little suspicious as there is no photography related stuff.

Then again he could just be friendly and want to learn about photography. (not likely)

I stopped laughing a minute ago, honest

I'm actually getting into more (obscure) 80s rock bands and less into metal. Then again I like jazz, classical, new age, celtic............ NO POP, RAP or CR@P!

Not fond of AC/DC, they're/were a bunch of prats, though some of their music is catchy and good to listen to, just don't like the personalities.

This is so OT

PS. Don't click on the second link.

Secondly, maybe the thread can be broken and the initial post deleted, then the thread moved to General and titled Random Music Thread...

(I'm probably going to get in trouble for replying to spam again though, didn't check the links at first...)
