Hi Cotty I agree fully, thanks for the comment. I will take the Pentax A24mm and a fast 50mm prime with me for the next (portrait) shooting, I didn't see much with the 18-55mm kit lens in the dark room. I tried this early morning to get some sterling photos but I need a lens at around 400mm on film and not the 70-210mm Pentax A zoom to not disturb the birds when they feed. The Pentax AF400-FTZ worked so far when I set the camera manually to F8 ISO100 at around 8 meters distance. I have no firm control over the flashes with the K10D yet and since his room and the rabbit cages are so dark I will have to practice a lot more first before I try a real portrait inside with flash. But I will take a photo of him with his old motor cycle and the "fishermen guard" plate next time :-) I hate it when I don't understand my equipment and I didn't grasp the Metz logic yesterday .....
