Well, the PUG meister does.

I have been using this a lot for sharing via web sites and have paid for 
version 12, but don't want to pay for the latest version.
There are so many other options now such as Wordpress galleries or 
sharing of maps on cloud drives.

Why RAW files should fit in a slide show is not clear to me.

G'day all,

One of the more interesting recent galleries

Most went for a literal interpretation (Ken didn't even need to leave
his living room to do so!) but there were several that interpreted the
theme differently.

Dan and Malcolm used 'a fork in the road of life' in their submissions
while Phillip found a nautical interpretation and Paul went down the
architectural route.  Then there's Igor's 'Choosing Slowly', which
certainly expands the boundaries of the theme.

Overall, my favourite is Henk's 'Traveller' narrowly ahead of Ken's
'Pitchin Michigan'.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

There's also another issue, I understand that the 8bit subsystem 
finally goes entirely away with Win10.  Any DOS program, that still 
works with Win8 will require a DOS emulator or setting up a virtual 
machine to run an earlier version of Windows.  I know you like Kedit.  
If you're using the dos version it's no longer supported in Win10.


The 16bit subsystem may also be gone, but I don't know.  I just read

The way I got the story when I worked at IBM in the 90s was that the IBM
PC was a project secret even from IBM's management who thought it was
going to be just a new terminal product to work with IBM's System/32

The team from IBM who were developing the PC was interested in acquiring
CP/M for the operating system. Legend has it that Gary Kildall refused
to meet with them because he wanted to go flying instead.

According to the people I worked with at IBM, they went to visit Digital
Research unannounced. The IBM team started off by slapping IBM's
standard, draconian non-disclosure agreement down on the desk & scared
the sh** out of Mrs. Kildall, who told them she couldn't sign it without
talking to her husband Gary - who wasn't there; he'd taken the day off to
be with their daughter.

She asked them to come back the next day, but their itinerary had them
at Microsoft the next day to acquire a license for Microsoft's BASIC
interpreter.

Somewhere in the conversation around licensing Microsoft's BASIC for the
new PC, Gates "just happened to mention" that he had a disk operating
system" that he would gladly demonstrate if they'd come back the next
day (instead of returning to Digital Research to meet with Kildall).

I don't know if Gates had already acquired QDOS from Seattle Computer
Products or not, but I don't think he bothered to mention that IBM
needed an OS before he purchased QDOS from SCP.

I thought I might inject some information into this 
rapidly-becoming-insipid thread of BS. From the mouths of the players 
involved:


"It took a while for Steve Jobs to become interested in Jeff Raskin's 
enthusiasm for the work going on at Xerox PARC. Jeff had been trying 
to get him interested for some time but Steve considered Jeff too 
much of a geek to be worth listening to. Eventually, however, Jeff 
learned the right way to approach Steve and Steve went to a 
presentation at PARC where the Xerox teams working on graphical 
systems, object oriented programming, pointing devices, etc, showed 
off some of their latest ideas and technology.


Steve was immediately bowled over by what he saw and asked Adele 
Goldberg (then manager of the group) for authority to bring his 
engineering staff in for a closer look. Adele flatly refused to grant 
access. She sent a memo up the Xerox management chain to New York 
stating that she had no authority to grant access to Xerox IP to an 
outside company, and beyond that felt it a very dangerous thing to do 
from the point of view of patents and IP. She recommended that the 
request be formally denied from the top.


It was a peculiar situation. Xerox management back East really didn't 
know what they had been investing in with PARC, few if any successful 
products had come out of PARC to date, and they didn't seem to quite 
understand the intensity of Adele's response to Steve's request. So 
when Steve called the CEO and Chairman of the Xerox board of 
directors, they invited him to visit for a meeting in New York.


At the meeting, Steve pointed out that Xerox was a majority 
stockholder in the fledgling Apple Computer company at the time.

G'day all

Here's a list of suggested themes for 2017 - based on some previous
suggestions from the List and one or two I thought might be 
interesting.

  It needs to be culled down to 12 so let me know of any you think are
crap and any others you think worthy of a run.

Note that April 2017 will be the 20th Anniversary of the PUG - worth
celebrating, don't you think?

This Sporting Life
Geometric Shapes in Nature
Leading Lines
Mountains
20 Years of PUGgery - an Open Gallery (April 2017)
A Car I've owned
Leaves
Less is More
National Parks
Streetcar and Subway
Blast from the Past
Abandoned
Something Red
Dry
Pollution
Doors

I've left World Photo Day out but we could possibly do an 'Extra'
gallery for August 19.

Re: Fast Normal Zoom. (for APS-C)

[Henk Terhell]

The Tamron SP AF 17-50/2.8 XR is my favorite standard zoom. Cheap and 
reliable. I have my second one after a fall with my bike.


Henk

Op 2016-10-29 om 19:06 schreef P.J. Alling:
So I've been getting along using a combination of a Manual focus 
Varafocal, (Vivitar 35-85mm f2.8), and a FA 20-35mm which satisfies 
most of my needs, but they can be damnably inconvenient, the varafocal 
makes me think that sometimes I need extra fingers and more inertial 
processing for my brain to keep track of stop down metering, 
re-framing and refocusing, which leads to a lot more missed shots than 
I'm happy with.  Swapping to the 20-35 and back, is sometimes 
necessary at very inconvenient times which also leads to missed shots.


It doesn't look like a Full Frame camera is in my budget for quite 
some time, and let's face it, I've come to terms with APS-C.  The 
K-5II is more than sufficient for most of what I do, in fact is better 
than most needs.  A more identical backup body is what I'm more likely 
to get than an actual full frame camera, maybe a K-7 another 
K-5[II(s)], or K3 thought the latter would have some of the same 
problems as using the K20D as backup, though the K5II hasn't failed me 
yet.


So I'm looking at APS-C lenses.

I've kind of narrowed it down to five lenses, at this point, based on 
reviews.


Pentax FA* 16-55 f2.8 available new.

Sigma 17-50 f2.8, comes in couple versions, latest version still 
available new.


Tamron 17-50 f2.8 also comes in a couple of versions latest version 
still available new.


Pentax FA 17-70, seems to be discontinued, but still available new.

Sigma 17-70, three versions, latest one still available new.


All of them have pluses and minuses, the Pentax FA* is the most 
expensive, the first version of the Tamron is least expensive, of 
course it's only really available used.  I like the idea of the 17-70 
as it would cut down on the necessity of changing lenses when things 
are moving fast.


I know there are people on the list who've used later Sigma 17-70, and 
the two Pentax lenses, but what about the Sigma 17-50 and Tamron 17-50 
has anybody got any experience with them? Optically good? Mechanically 
crap? Vice Versa?


It comes down to the fact that I don't trust most reviewers. I'll pick 
up something that's gotten bad reviews play with it a while and think, 
this isn't nearly as bad as I expected, hell this even seems to be 
pretty good, and things that have gotten good reviews and think, what 
the f*#k was that guy talking about this is pretty horrible.  You guys 
have real world experience, what is it.

I've considered all the suggestions and, if they don't appear here,
don't take it personally :-)  They have either been filed away for next
year or omitted because I'm concerned that may not achieve a good level
of participation.  I've expanded Bruce's 'Nude' suggestion into
'Nakedness', which can be broadly interpreted to include concepts other
than human nudity (eg. artwork featuring nudity, denuded landscapes -
perhaps even baldness :-)>.

I like Igor's idea of reaching out to former PDMLers to contribute to
the 20th Anniversary Gallery - something to keep in mind as April
approaches.

Re: GESO Benefit for Pete

[Henk Terhell]

Larry

This is set a nice set, which your friends no doubt will like. I would 
think the K-1 in combination with the FA 80-200/2.8 shine out with such 
difficult light circumstances.


You took only a few pics with the new 28-105/3.5-5.6 at the longest end. 
What is your general experience with this lens. Can you recommend it as 
kit lens?

Some friends of mine run a weekly blues jam.  Tonight was the last one 
this year, and they did it as a benefit to raise money for a friend

shot with the K-1 and the FA 80-200/2.8, a few with the 15-30 and the 
28-105, and one with my bigma.  I think I lost fewer shots to missed 
focus than with earlier bodies, but I'm still not completely happy 
with the focusing on the K-1.


Lighting was with led spots, with a lot of blue in the back.

If anyone has hints for how to increase the autofocus hit rate when 
photographing musicians moving around on stage, I'm interested.
On the plus side, the K-1 doesn't seem to obsess on the microphone as 
badly as previous bodies did either.


I don't know if I got any knockout photos, but I trimmed down the 
facebook set to 41 competent frames for flickr, I'm pretty happy with

Re: K-1 Enablement

[Henk Terhell]

Mark, good choice. I got mine with the 28-105  a week ago and am still 
very much in the learning curve.
I was a bit worried about the size and weight of the K-1 when walking 
around, but  so far this is acceptable.

Now I'm trying my old prime lenses, but the 28-205 is also fine.

Op 2017-02-22 om 21:59 schreef Mark C:
I finally bit the bullet and put in an order for a K-1 today. I went 
with the 28-105 lens since the 24-70 overlaps so much with the Tamron 
28-75 that I already have. I'm looking forward to seeing how the K-1 
performs with some old film era lenses - the FA 50 f1.7, F28 f2.8, A* 
200 macro, Sigma EX 70-200 f2.8 (1st generation) and FA 20-30 f4 zoom 
in particular.  I'm hoping that the first generation SIgma lens does 
not have the mounting issue that the current version has (I found one 
comment on Pentax Forums that said it did not, but you never know). 
I'm not all that optimistic about the FA 20-35 but we'll see.


I've been doing some more stacked macros in the past couple weeks and 
the tought that I could be doing these with a much more capable camera 
than my K3 just got to be over bearing...

Re: Pentax K-P

[Henk Terhell]

Malcolm, interesting information. Looks like a great small model as the 
MX in the old days.

I wonder how the high ISO compare with that of the K-1.

Henk

Op 2017-02-25 om 11:33 schreef Malcolm Smith:

It arrived as one of the last courier deliveries of the day, and as it has a
different battery and charger (not great but part of the 'make it smaller'
drive), I was forced to charge that, and it was dark by the time it was
fully charged.

  


It comes with the small grip attached - one Allen key bolt with Allen key
provided - and I'm not sure who will use the small, as my wife with small
hands found that grip too small. The camera is indeed smaller, but it is
well laid out control wise. With a small lens, a 40mm pancake maybe, it
would pass for a point and shoot from a small distance, and I think that
might work well for street photography, and the tilt screen is useful.

  


The different grips are a good idea, although as I have big hands the large
will be the only suitable grip for me. I wouldn't want the camera any
smaller.

  


However, this was all about the high ISO abilities to me. I attach two
photos, one of the box, and one I took indoors. So far, I've only taken 5
pictures with it, and so I have much to get used to with it. One of the
pictures I took outside at 204,500 ISO just to see in the dark to see if it
could get a moving car, and whilst the image looked like a surveillance
photo as it was so grainy, I was astonished to see the registration
number/license plate readable. The K3 wouldn't work on this at all - I
tried.

  


Again with the picture of my cat, I tried to make it as hard as possible for
the camera, with really low light, so I had trouble seeing her, a smallish
aperture, quick shutter speed and then processed and cropped the image in
Lightroom, to further stress the image. Obviously that's not a picture
you're going to use day to day, but for a hand held shot (where the K 3
wanted several seconds exposure), this opens up a new world for me. I'm
happy. I'll certainly be able to use a much higher ISO than I currently do
and be useable.

  


I think they've made a camera that suits me, but time will tell if it suits
anyone else. If it was a choice between a K3 (K3 II) or a K-P, it would be
an easy choice for the former. I'm therefore not sure if I was buying a
Pentax DSLR for the first time I'd even look at the K-P.

  


The box:   http://flic.kr/p/RRs7AN

Re: The Camera Store reviews the K-P

[Henk Terhell]

I like the design of the KP. The small form factor, and the higher ISO 
made me almost decide to pre-order the KP to upgrade from my K-5.

For use in the theatre, low light performance is important to me.
But the price gap of the KP with K-1 is not that great, so I bought the 
K-1 instead.
But now I need something lightweight for longer walks. The K-5 with a 
prime lens will do for now.

You can't have one camera for all purposes.

Re: Thunderbird help.. a small disaster!

Perhaps you can search for specific words that should be within the ebay

Re: Stupid Flickr Question

For yourself private and public photos all end up in your photostream. 
The public will of course only see public photos of your photosteam.
What I do is always upload as private and change those which may be 
visual to the public after the upload.

Albums will follow exactly the setting of photos as private or public.
You can arrange (organize) the order in an album the way you want, but 
you have to remember to do this again after new photos are placed in an

Not to my knowledge.
A private photo is private in both photostream and albums.
A public photo is public in both photostream and albums.
An album is just a set or group of photos. Photos can be placed in 
multiple albums or none at all.

Re: Sounds like Pentax/Ricoh's resources are spread pretty thin...

Wheras I still have the primes of 28, 35 and 50 from the fim era I very 
much like to have a ff 20 mm prime at an affordable price.
There is such a great gap in ff wide angle range compared to what is

Re: Sounds like Pentax/Ricoh's resources are spread pretty thin...

[Henk Terhell]

Gonz, I entirely agree with you.
Ever since I owned the K-1 I am looking for a wide angle lens for 
landscape work, preferably as a prime.
Something in the range of 20 or 24 mm. But there is nothing in the line 
of Pentax except the FA 15-30/2.8 which is about the price of the K-1 
itself.
I'm glad to still own an old Sigma 24/2.8 macro which is doing fairly 
well except for flare.
A few months ago I bought a very cheap old Cosina MC 19-35 /3.5-4.6 to 
get a bit wider.
I know there are some TP manual wide angle lenses being offered 
(Samyang, Venus, Irix) but going back to all manual is not the way I want.
Further I wonder who will be interested in another 50 mm lens except a 
few 50 collectors.
There are still plenty of 50/2.8 macro and FA 50/F1.4 around to do the 
job, and I doubt whether the new 50 will beat my Pentax F 50/2.8 macro 
on sharpness.

I don't expect Pentax to be releasing mirrorless cameras rivaling
Sony's or anyones for that matter. Or I don't expect them to produce a
camera aimed at the professional sports photographer market. But their
particular niche, which I would say is aspiring amateur photographers
that like small form-factor cameras with lenses that are not
necessarily the sharpest, but take a more balanced approach to the
overall look of the images, seems to be more and more encroached by
the likes of Sony, Fuji, etc.  In addition, things that are nice to
have, like a nice flash, teleconverters, etc. are pretty much
non-existent or exist only in old versions that you have to turn to
ebay to acquire.  Finally, the dearth of new lens offerings from
Pentax, esp nice primes suitable for full frame digital with modern
autofocus, basically have stopped coming with the exception of the 50
later this year.  Where are the nice full frame birding lenses?  Or a
prime wide angle?  The real sign however is the lack of support from
third parties. Everytime a nice lens comes out from Sigma, or some of
the newer players such as Laoa, the Pentax version is not there.
Given the lack of new primes coming from Pentax, I would love it if
Sigma art series lenses were available for the K-1, but alas, few are.
I thought for sure the enthusiastic response from the photog community
to the K-1 would have resulted in more investment from Ricoh to keep
the momentum going, but it appears that they have pulled back instead.

One can justify the new 50mm on the basis it's the standard lens for 
the format, which makes it a logical starting point.


The other option is to throw darts at a board blindfolded and decide 
by luck what order to release lenses in.


You want a wide angle, so they release a 24mm first, except you really 
want a 20mm, so you aren't happy, and the people who want something 
longer aren't happy either.
They release an 85mm first, and all the people who want something 
shorter aren't happy.

And let's not forget those photographers who want a 105mm or 135mm.
Gotta keep them happy, and on and on.

It doesn't matter what they release first, they are going to tick of 
some people who take it as a personal insult that their pet focal 
length wasn't the one drawn out of the hat.


There are some focal lengths that are no brainer must haves in a lens 
system. Ricoh's failing was not releasing half a dozen primes 
concurrent with the K1. Instead they gamely attempted to be all things 
to all people by releasing 3 bloated zooms covering a very wide range, 
and in the process satisfied almost no one.


As an aside, your 50/2.8 may well be a very good lens, but I bet the 
new 50 will be better at f/1.4 than your 50/2.8


bill


You may be right as to pentax decisions, but for ff there is now by 
pentax a 50, a 77, and a 100 (macro) but nothing at all in the wide 
angle prime range below 35.


By the way, I use my 50/2.8 macro a lot but can't recall I used it wide 
open. I now use my 50/1.4 only rarely in a theater.

If you want wide angle primes and don't need autofocus, rokinon makes 
some very nice gear. The 24/1.4 is reputed to be the optically best

Thanks Larry, I may consider this or the 20/1.8 for landscape work,

Rokinon lenses are branded here as Samyang I understand.

Re: thoughts on the K-1 vs K-3

[Henk Terhell]

For me there is also always the dilemma going for a walk: do I take the 
K-1 or the K-5. Weight/size versus quality.
The K-5 with the DA 21/3.2 limited is so conveniently small and fits 
well under a coat in cold weather, though I see people thinking  I am 
growing a belly.
Once I decide to take the K-1 the question comes up whether the ND grad 
filter should go along, but that implies also the tripod, so I'll take a 
backpack with more lenses...


Never do I put APS lenses on the K-1 following Northrup's advice on YT 
as there is no gain in pixels.
With both cameras I am frequently struggling on focusing so that is not 
an issue for me.


Henk

Op 2018-04-14 om 10:09 schreef Larry Colen:
I've noticed that lately that when I'm grabbing a camera to have with 
me when I go out, I've been a lot less picky about whether I grab my 
K-1 or K-3.  Ignoring price, if you happen to have both lying around, 
there are a lot of ways in which the K-1 is a better camera than the 
K-3, and a few that the K-3 is better than the K-1. If size, weight 
and fps don't tremendously matter, then the K-1 is a pretty damn nice 
APS camera in crop mode. It doesn't have the resolution in APS of the 
K-3, nor the frame rate, but the focus is better, and its focus points 
cover much more of the APS frame.


In challenging light, or challenging focus conditions, the K-1 does 
better, not hugely but noticeably so, than the K-3. However, in decent 
light and for that matter even some pretty lousy light, walking around 
taking pictures, I can think of very few cases (if any) where I'd look 
at the final image and be able to tell whether I shot it with the K-3 
and 16-50 or the K-1 and the 28-75.


To be sure, there are lots of times that to get a particular shot, I 
really need the larger sensor in the K-1, those are usually night time 
wide angle shots.  Also, when I'm photographing musicians and don't 
want to get great shots of microphones with blurry musicians in the 
background, the K-1 far outshines the K-3. But I've recently been 
surprised to realize how often, for basic shooting, it really doesn't 
matter to me which camera I grab.


I will note that I haven't gotten to the point of grabbing the K-1 and 
APS only lenses like the 18-250.

Re: Text of e-mail from Flickr

[Henk Terhell]

Hopefully (as said in the FAQ), the Flickr service is not going to 
change in the foreseeable future.
Having stored now close to 6000 of my selected pics on Flickr in full 
resolution for $ 25/year, I'm happy with Flickr as it is now.
The choice of private/friends/family/public works fine. Also there are 
so many groups of common interest in subjects.
I also maintain on Flickr a community (public) image bank as the 
arrangement of albums or sets and frequently extensive descriptions of 
the images are so much more conveniently done than on a hosted website.

I've no experience at all how current smugmug handles all this.

Re: Text of e-mail from Flickr

[Henk Terhell]

Ann, that's an impressive gallery! Glad you shared it.
It will take more time to look at all of the pics, but that squirrel 
looking at the hawk is extremely fascinating.

You will have plenty to choose from for the May pug!
The smugmug layout is pretty good and I like the black background more 
than the white one on Flickr.
I only seem to miss interactions/reactions/favorites or whatever, only 
individual comments, so it looks Flickr is more of a social media.

But there is not much to worry about the take over -  I'll see what happens.

Having stored now close to 6000 of my selected pics on Flickr in full

The choice of private/friends/family/public works fine. Also there 
are so many groups of common interest in subjects.
I also maintain on Flickr a community (public) image bank as the 
arrangement of albums or sets and frequently extensive descriptions 
of the images are so much more conveniently done than on a hosted

I've no experience at all how current smugmug handles all this.

Re: DFA 28-105 - first impressions

[Henk Terhell]

Never been disappointed by this lens for reporting type of work. Always 
pretty sharp.

I've never paid much attention to the light fall off.
Wider and longer is of course often desired, but if you want to limit 
yourself to one lens on the K-1, this for me is the one.

Have a good hike with it.

Henk

Op 2018-05-03 om 04:06 schreef Mark Roberts:

I received my new DFA 28-105 today, getting my first weather-sealed
full-frame lens in preparation for my upcoming adventure in Yorkshire,
Durham and Northumberland. I haven't given it a proper tryout yet -
just a few quick test shots to insure it doesn't suffer from any major
alignment/decentering issues. But I have to say the build quality
seems impressive for such a budget (by FF standards) lens. Focusing is
fast and virtually silent. And though I'd certainly like a faster lens
(f/5.6 at 105mm is a tad disappointing) the benefit in terms of size
is remarkable. It's surprisingly compact.

I hope to get in a few test photos tomorrow (not that the semester is
over).

Re: DPR review of K1 II is now up, not very favourable ...

[Henk Terhell]

I got the same idea. Better to spend the 500 euros on glass.

Henk

Op 2018-05-07 om 17:34 schreef Jan van Wijk:

Just an FYI:

I was still considering upgrading my K1 to the 'II' level, for better high-ISO 
performance
better AF-tracking and the 'handheld' pixel-shift.

I don't like the hassle/risk of sending it in (to Germany, from the 
Netherlands) though.

Now, reading the review, it seems that the 'better' high ISO is achieved mainly
by adding noise reduction in the new accelarator chip, at the expense of detail.
(quite visible in small printed text for example).

So I will probably skip the update and save 500 Euros as well :)

I will wait for the next model, with newer sensor technology, and just enjoy 
the K1 until then!

Re: PESO - Utrecht bicycles

In Elements I use transform -> skew (I think that how it is called in 
the English version) and lift up the right corner a bit. In Elements 
there is also perspective and distort but I don't think these work here.
There is however a problem in using Elements (at least in my version 9) 
as external editor for LR RAW files in that you get a warning that 16 
bit color depth will be reduced so you loose some quality.

Re: PESO: marsh helleborine

[Henk Terhell]

According to the physician of the Roman emperor Nero, Dioscorides, the 
root, if drunk with wine, helps to prevent snake bites.


I can't find the origin of the name ox-tongue for this tribe of plants. 
Perhaps it has to do with the red dye the Greeks extracted from it.

Re: Upgrade from K5 to KP???

[Henk Terhell]

Toine,
I don't own the KP, but it would be my choice on APS-C considering it is 
at present 100 euro cheaper than the K3-II.
Of course you can wait till a new flagship but it definitely will take 
time before it is locally availabe.
As you say, a tilting screen is so useful in many situations, and 
therefore many times a reason for me not to take my K5 along.

Full frame is not what I need since most of my glass isn't full frame.
Which results in the K3-II as the only other option.

What I don't like on the KP is the small new battery size and the missing
LCD panel. The tilting screen is what I most like.

Probably they release a new flagship APS model the moment I buy a KP.

Any other reasons I should or shouldn't get the KP?

Re: Usable ISO with K-3

[Henk Terhell]

I've grown up with 18 DIN, therefore my selections are very conservative:
Outdoor mostly ISO 100 with tripod for best dynamic range.
W/o tripod (moving subjects) and macro up to ISO 400.
In the theater flash at ISO 400 or w/o flash up to ISO 6400 with K-1 and 
ISO 1600 with K5. Not higher - some movement may be more expressive.

Always -1 (or more) underexposure to avoid highlights.

Henk

I almost never shoot above 400 ISO in my outdoor photography, a force

For comparisons I shot some birdy images at the feeder and varied the 
ISO up to 51200, same f stop with varying shutter speeds.


Surprise, surprise but I got very usable captures up to 25600, but not 
so much @ 51200 - which produced a noticeable color shift.


A subjective evaluation that will give me a little more leeway in the

K1 and D-FA 28-105 @ 77mm and 800 ISO 1sec F5.6

Probably there are technics to take this picture with less noise.

Re: Metz mecablitz 44 AF-2 Digital Flash for Pentax Cameras - any comments?

[Henk Terhell]

Mine is the Metz 48 AF-1 digital which has worked fine for a long time 
starting with the * istD.
On the K1 it showed incorrect exposure with full blast, until I 
discovered there was an firmware update.
Now it's correctly measuring in P-TTL. But I'm using more and more 
natural light and brighten shadows in Lightroom.


Henk

Op 2018-07-29 om 20:17 schreef Jos de Fotograaf:
I agree with the remarks of Mark: robustness of Metz flashes is less 
than their products 30-40 years ago (the hammer type that could be 
used as a hammer!)
But, lets be fair, presents types are relatively cheaper and have more 
options.
I had a AF-1 and a AF-2 both failed after a few years due to jammed 
zoom mechanisme.

I opened one and was shocked by the fragile construction.

Then I decided that I have little advantage from P-TTL and go on with 
some old flashes: automatic with their own sensor, no automatic 
zooming, robust and reliable.

I don't have the model you are looking at but have a Metz mecablitz 
58 AF-2 and have experienced mixed results with it.


The good: Lots of options and features. The user interface is a 
little fiddly but once you get used to its not a problem. It needed a 
firmware update to work with the K1 but has a usb port and can be 
easily updated. With the update it works fine on the K1.


The not good: The LCD panel stopped illuminating a few months after I 
bought the first flash. I assumed it was just switched off (the menus 
still appeared on the panel but without back lighting). Metz said it 
was defective and offered to repair it under warranty. After several 
weeks of waiting for parts they ultimately replaced the flash with a 
new one. The new unit developed the same failure within a few months, 
and by then the warranty had expired. I can still use the unit I 
have, but can't read the menus in the dark.


Given that I had two flashes fail in the same manner I'm skeptical of 
Metz's quality. But the flash is feature rich, well designed and 
affordably priced.

the AF360FGZ II is coming home - but IF this or another Metz is 
adequate, more $$ can be diverted to lenses and cameras.


from my previous experience with Pentax flashes (280t and 330ftz) 
they tend to eat batteries faster than ideal, but had endured a lot 
of abuse. the 360 FGZ II is weather resistant, but that's not to be 
an issue - I don't intend to take flash photography under the rain. 
flash photos are not so frequent, for me, to the point a Vivitar 
285hv has been enough until now.


any toughts? any hands-on experience with the "video light" of those 
two flashes? FWIW, I do carry a flashlight in the bag all times, and 
have used it on occasion to light my subjects under very low light - 
the feature is welcome indeed.
