  • Replied in X10 questions
    Yes. See the picture below. It works quite well with my trigger. But notice how big the flash trigger looks on X10. The trigger I'm using is Flashquick-II trigger, which is quite small. But on...
  • Replied in X10 Filter Ring
    Here's what I got: 40mm to 49mm filter ring and 49mm B+W UV filter. Why 49mm? 1. 49mm UV filter costs less than the 52mm UV filter. 2. 52mm filter might protrude beyond the bottom edge of...
  • Replied in Cannon Beach DA* Twins
    Been to that beach a couple of times several summers ago ... I remember that big rock! LOVE that beach! So calm and relaxing during the summer. It's a beautiful place! Looking at the photos,...
  • Replied in my view ...
    Warm tones ... Here was my take on a California beach a couple of years ago ... It was a bit earlier in the day. Seeing yours, I think I should've waited for a few hours...
  • Replied in Off camera speedlight trigger and receivers
    I used various flashes with Cybersyncs. Pentax, Sigma, and Metz. You have to get hotshoe adapter and cables ... which is why I moved to Flashwaves. I think the picture below says it...
  • Replied in Off camera speedlight trigger and receivers
    I've used (extensively) the cheaper stuff from E-bay as well as more established products like Microsync and Cybersync. But by far, my favorite is Flashwave. It's got the best combination of...
  • Replied in the ist*D was a good size
    I agree. I also did like the *ist D's small size. One thing I would do differently though is to make the grip deeper like K-5. If K-5 was as small as ist D, it'd be even better, except I do like...
  • Replied in Picture viewing on LED monitor. HOw is it?
    I agree that IPS technology is the way to go for color accuracy. But they are fairly expensive. But between IPS and non-IPS, the difference is quite noticeable. My monitor is Dell's non-LED LCD...
  • Replied in Pentax 540AF flash and radio trigger
    I am biased. I think you'll get what you pay for. If you want to try a cheap Chinese trigger, I'll sell you the one I bought before for $5. I think I paid $20~30 for it. It wasn't worth the...
  • Replied in Radio triggers
    I recommend Flashwave. Had it for about 3 years. No problem at all. Rock solid. Tried Cactus and Yongnuo. Affordable, but not as reliable. Ended up returning them or getting rid of them on...
  • Replied in The K-5 will allow you to produce images that you otherwise just can't get....
    Love those photos. Those are some awesome looking places! Wish I could hike the same places! -- http://genespentax.blogspot.com/ http://flickr.com/photos/genespentax/
  • Replied in New To Pentax, Looking for some input
    I would recommend either K-5. But, depending on what you are looking for, K-x would be nice also. BTW - I'm selling my K-x. So, I highly recommend my K-x. ;-) Seriously, I've been very happy...
  • Replied in overpriced short telephoto primes
    The limited lens are not cheap. Not sure if I would agree with the "way overpriced" characterization. But the limited lens are definitely great. It seems Pentax lenses are slower than equivalent...

  • Replied in Pentax K5 goes to the Shooting Range (13 Pics)
    Thanks for sharing! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Hooah! Just got K-5 myself a few days ago. Hope I'll get a chance to shoot some interesting stuff soon. Have a great Vet...
