Hi Pentaxians Just a quick test if the AF400-FTZ is really useless on the K10D because of it's missing auto modes. I used the Tamron SP 75-150mm zoom handheld from 2 meters distance and bounced the flash to the ceiling in hi manual mode. The camera was set to ISO100 and manually to F22. Bouncing the flash produces quite often good results, direct flash overexposes a lot even when I set the flash reflector to 28mm and the camera to F22. Interstingly it did not matter if I set the flash to hi or ttl mode, I think it uses manual full power in every setting manual low excluded.
I hope my test shots are interesting for some of you, feel free to tell me if I should stop ;-) But then I have different old manual and automatic flashes to test on the K10D which might interest some.... A heavy crop of about 50%, raw photographed, ACR and sharpened in Photoshop. I'ts just an old CD cover but excellent music inside ;-) http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/harlekin.jpg greetings Markus -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
