I wouldn't worry about going somewhat above ISO 800. The K-X has pretty
good high ISO qualities. Depending on the lighting situation, you may
be able to get by without any flash.
This was done with a K-X at ISO 3200 - post-processed in LR3.

Normally this means being a distance away from the stage.
A) My first thought is to use the A70-210, set the ISO to 400 or 800,
and use the on-camera flash. (Body is the K-x.)
B) Of course softer light would be preferable. I have a classic
Sunpak 611 available. With a GN of 160 and setting the ISO @ 400,
even with a tissue over the head for some diffusion I can get
plenty of DOF.
C) Then again, a *dedicated* flash with a bounce panel might be best,
but that would shorten my shooting distance. I really don't want to
crank the ISO past 800, just to maintain image quality. What flash,
Pentax brand or other, would you suggest?
A? B? C? Other?
Additional thoughts?
Sincerely,
Collin Brendemuehl
