Tethering in the "studio" sense is missing: you cannot download images to a previewing screen (eg Lightroom) like you can with all MF cameras (Hassy, Phase One) and many FF's (Nikon, Canon). Tethering in terms of remote control of shutter and other features, is available, yes. Image-download tethering is a highly desirable feature. I've tried to do it with an Eye-Fi SD card but it's just too slow. I'd love to hear that the Asian Flu card works. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
