Thanks, Stan. I find it quite easy to follow training plans as I enjoy the
training anyway. It keeps me away from the TV, nevermind there's nothing worth
watching these days. My buildup wasn't as long as I'd have liked, I had a
12-week programme but I think the legs could have used a more

Thanks, Bruce.

That (pedestrian) is my attitude too. All three of these shots were
shot off the hip: manually zone focused, wide-ish 24mm, 1/1000th

the camera with my right hand, but I never look at it. I look at my
surroundings and

Sorry, Walt, these are strictly useful now as fully manual. They
support TTL, but your cameras don't. And they don't have any slave

I have to admit, I am having much better luck getting good exposures
when I go full-manual with an M lens.
I don't quite nail it on the first try, but after two or three, the

You will probably have the best luck, right off the bat,
using all of the strobes in manual mode. This means you
cannot trigger off the pop-up flash because Pentax can't
understand why anyone would want to make any flash exposure
decisions for themselves, or even worse, remotely trigger
