Re: colored strobes
Larry, this is multi-system flash (it has a set of switches on the back that determine which protocol it would use) that support TTL (not P-TTL) and has its own light meter so that it can work autonomously as far as impulse power goes. It has two settings (IIRC) that determine the auto mode operation. Also it has set of color filters. It swivels and tilts. Before sending it to Stan, I checked it and the flash fired. I don't remember exactly, but I used it with K10D and/or K-7. I think that when I got K-5, I already had Metz SCA system flash that was replaced with Metz AF 50-1 not long ago. It is therefore logical to assume that in terms of discharge current/voltage it is safe for modern Pentax cameras. Oh, and by the way, the above is for general consumption :-).

But if you request a refund for an inexpensive product like this, stating that it was defective (expired), the odds are good that Amazon or the third-party seller will just refund your money without having you send it back. They don't want the hassle or expense of dealing with the return, either. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: PESO: SPRING ! (With Link this time)
Thanks, Bruce, Gerrit, Bob, Don and Jack. You are right, Bruce, In my desperation to get a shot that had some color and blossoms that filled the frame, I overdid it I wanted a vision of spring in the worst way, and I got it. This was the first day the crocus started to bloom. It was almost dusk by the time I noticed them and grabbed the camera. The flowers are small, and only a couple if inches in height, and it was wet and muddy on the ground, so I had a bit of trouble maneuvering into a position to look through the viewfinder at all. I took most at f/2, to get decent shutter speed and blur the crap all around the flowers. I took some at f/8, but between the slower shutter speed, the breeze and my shaky hands, those are noticeably less sharp. Even then, the flowers looked tiny and dull, so I cropped the hell out of this one, and really pumped it up in P/S to make it look more "springlike." As you correctly note, the result is a piece of crap technically, but I got the spring colors I wanted, green and blue and yellow and orange.

Re: PESO: SPRING ! (With Link this time)
Very good to see, Dan. None of ours are up yet, and my wife was out the last couple of days tidying leaves off the garden and reports that the tips of them are showing. Were you shooting wide-open with the 50/1.8? I'm guessing that you used the Lightroom edge-detect feature to sharpen these and I am distracted by sharpening noise along all the in-focus edges; its unfortunately obvious.
