I have an opportunity to buy these two items used at $540.00 cdn for the
lens, and $450.00 for the flash. Is this a good deal? I know the lens is
great, but how is this combination for macro? I already have two flashes,
plus the onboard PZ1-P flash. Will I get appreciably better pictures with
this? Also, I understand you can selectively turn off two of the four lights
in the flash for increased modelling and shadow control. Anyone with any
experience and/or examples? And there is also a reverse adapter available
for the flash so you can use it with reversed lenses, i.e. the FA*24mm f=2.
Anyone with any experience with this? I know that, for a while it was all
the rage to shoot portraits with this combination, also. We were seeing ads
in major magazines with the models with telltale doughnut highlights in
their eyes. Any info would be helpful before I go ahead with this.Thanks. C. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions. Don't forget to visit the Pentax Users' Gallery at http://pug.komkon.org .
