Hi!
I have a list of questions about flashes.
1) daylight fill-flash: can any of Pentax flashes be used for that? See, I'm not a flash guru, maybe this question should be asked a bit differently: will the exposure be correct with any of Pentax flases used, let's say, on ZX-5n?

1) Yes you can use a Pentax flash - and even the RTF - with yout ZX-
Pn for daylight fill-in and it will render nicely balanced results.
The limiting factor is the synch speed - 1/125 s is sometimes too
slow for fill-in since good background exposure would ususally

Bill is correct, up to a point. Many SLR lenses have scales
based on 5x7 prints. For each size larger using the mark for the
next larger aperture works well. OTOH, the human eye can
perceive a dot (circle of confusion) only so small, a smaller
dot is not visible. DOF is based on that size dot. So,
I like the first and second very much. The colors in #1 are so vibrant that

looking at the background that you see they're just very interesting hues.

I don't think this is quite correct. Although it would make the

The equipment part is easy: MZ-S, FA35/2 and 77/1.8 Limited.
The project? I'd photograph the people with the jobs nobody wants. Chicken catchers,
septic tank cleaners, roadkill removers, and the folks who really keep this country

My lightweight Pentax kit is -
ZX5N
28-200mm FA zoom
50mm FA macro
17-28mm Vivitar zoom
mini tripod
Manfrotto monopod
I take this when I know I will be carrying it around for awhile, such
as when I go hiking.

You'll have lots of people to take pictures to in Argentina. I just read the

history, 16.4%. You'll probably find me there after December, I'll have to
charge you for a picture. The K85/1.8 would be enough.
