Sorry, I misunderstood your first post regarding the versions. I was thinking AF-1 & AF-2 as my flash is v2.

There wasn't a USB cable supplied with my 58 AF-2 so I doubt there is with any of the Metz flashes.

You need a standard USB mini cable which I'd guess only costs a couple of pounds though you may well have one already as they come with all sorts of devices.

Instructions on downloading and installing the firmware is available on the Metz website here. I think v2 is relating to the firmware version not the flash version.

It is poor show but I'm not sure how many businesses would use Lightroom? It's not suitable for a multi user environment so at best it's limited use for medium / large companies and it's my perception that photographers tend to update their PC hardware fairly regularly - I've not evidence of that but that's how it seems reading various forums ...

Is it possible to give someone feedback like on ebay or other forums?

I've bought from a couple of people on here and been very happy with both

My camera before the K10D was a 750UZ. Nice images but was sooooo slow.

Beginning of 2009 I decided I wanted a 'better' camera as we had a safari booked for June, after lots of research it was between the K10D and the Nikon D80. After holding both I decided to go with the Pentax.

I'm now committed to Pentax as I have a couple of nice lenses, but I'm not sure I'd make the same choice today if it was just on feel as I'm not keen on the K7/5 body.

edit - I didn't know much about photography then and any dSLR would have been a massive upgrade over my p&s

RAW (DNG) for me. I quite enjoy the tweaking afterwards
