Definitely syncs fine to 1/180. Got a set of 4 and love them. Sadly cannot go higher as Pentax cameras block the hotshoe at higher speeds.

Use copper tape if you don't want to damage the paintwork. Careful is is so sharp and hurts like mad when you cut yourself.

A lens I really would like, same with the TC.vincechu wrote:
Pentax just make me a DA* 35mm f/2 Macro with SDM or DC and I'll buy that right away
There was a DA*30mm (most likely a f/1.4) on the lens roadmap but it disapeared together with the 1,4x TC Pentax just make me a DA* 35mm f/2 Macro with SDM or DC and I'll buy that right away
I'd also rather like a smallish sealed DA*16
That would be such a good set, 16, 30 & 55 DA* lenses!

If you're thinking of a lens upgrade, then two options spring to mind: the 35mm f2.4 prime (about £160 if memory serves), or the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 zoom. Both are very well regarded, and the Tamron would offer much more flexibility but it does cost £300 so might be out of your reach.
That is a good suggestion, the 17-50/2.8 is a good len as is the 35/2.4.If you're thinking of a lens upgrade, then two options spring to mind: the 35mm f2.4 prime (about £160 if memory serves), or the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 zoom.

Definitely take:
Kit Lens 18-55mm (general)
FA 50mm 1.4 (portraits)
Tamron 10-24mm (wide)
Pentax Flash AF360 (I'd be tempted to say rent a spare just in case)
Possibly one or two stands and triggers for a short bride/groom session away from the everyone for a bit.

Unfortunately the only thing I can recommend is my web designer. There isn't anything wrong with your existing site, still easy to navigate and has some amazing photos.
I guess it depends whether you want to spend any or much money.

So many places, so little time. Almost anywhere alone the rout to Fort William or Oban is excellent. Never been to the other side of Scotland though.

That thing is huge. I went past the factory in Tolouse and down the road all the parts travel by. Really weird seeing the high security overnight stops for the drivers.

The 22-bit AD converter in the K10D is just to read off the CCD which is an analogue device, this 22-bit output is then sampled to a 12-bit RAW. I don't think the sensor is really capable of using that 22-bit AD converter.
CMOS sensors are still analogue but you can build all the relevant AD and other circuits directly onto the sensor. The readout is 14-bit so there will be a lot more information than with the K10D. Plus the sensor is 4 stops better in almost all respects.

That was good.
