The K10D's built in flash has about as much power as a spent match and I have long since given up using it in favour of the AF360FGZ.

I find that when using a puffer like the Rocket blower it helps to have the lens mouth pointing downwards. It is a bit awkward to do but most of the dust falls out of the camera instead of further into it.
I am not convinced by the sticky pad things like the Pentax O-ICK1. I had a couple of marks on my sensor for ages after I used it.
Cheers, Kris.

When not in use, out on an open shelf in a dry airy room is best. Don't leave them in a leather bag/case/holdall.

Off topic I know but... I never thought of using the 50-135mm for flowers, I always go for my 50mm Sigma macro lens. But then I tend to go for very small flower...

Lovely set, Nos. 1 and 4 for me. What were the blue plants in the last one?
Best wishes, Kris.

Do you think it would be sturdy enough to cope with my Horseman 5x4 view camera?

... The MZ-10 has a center weighted 6 segmented metering system but when you look at the meter itself you see that it has 9 segements and even has a circular part for spot metering which was only available on the more expensive camera's in the range. I wonder how many parts the camera's in the MZ range share with each other.
The SP500 was supposed to have a top shutter speed of 1/500 but in fact it was the same as the SP1000 just without the 1/1000 setting marked on the dial. One could click past the 1/500 and get the faster speed!...

Is that your new Schneider on the front there? Is it any good after all the waiting? Nice towel btw!
Nope. I am still trying to get hold of a Copal 0 lensboard. The lens is the Rodenstock Sironar-N 210mm. I'm taking this whole LF thing slowly Is that your new Schneider on the front there? Is it any good after all the waiting? Nice towel btw!
If any of the five photographs I took yesterday are any good I'll post a scan.
