Using a flash makes a huge difference over shooting available light,
but every time I use my AF540 I seem to hate it a little bit
more. Granted, the exposure difficulties may be more the fault of the
K20 than the AF540. One of these days I'll have to try out a K7, but
I'll try to make sure that I wait until after I have enough money to
buy one.
I did seem to get the best results, when the ceiling was low enough,
bouncing the flash off the ceiling at ISO 400, though I occasionally
put on a faster prime and dropped the ISO to 100.
Files labeled imgp shot with a K100, those labeled lrc shot with the
k20.
The dancers in the bottom two rows were shot with a tungsten gel on
the flash, primarily bounced off the ceiling.

Gorgeous, Larry. Dancers and musicians have the same attraction...both
lost in the zone, they make unlosable photographs.
