Was there a PDML weekend in 2000 or 2001? Fully understand commitments for this year, maybe 2003? Apart from an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas whilst taking photographs, is there a theme, or is this a discussion point along with a suitable central venue - I suppose I am asking for

Bolo, Sorry to be so late to respond. If I get you right, you are working with _fairly_ small motifs, and want a _directional_ light without too much contrast. One thing I have tried (but not often) is to use a white plastic bag over the flash head as a diffuser. Or a white cardboard strapped to

Hi Frantisek, what can I say. It seems Pentax wasn't very consistent with these batch numbers, or maybe some digit has been wiped out by usage (Pentax/Scandinavia actually said that could happen). Maybe some other LX-owner can help out. And I really hope we'll have some good light tomorrow.
