Per our off-line discussion, I like the image created by the K35/2 better than from the A35/2. But the A has better contrast. Haven't compared them with film yet, but I'm not shooting much C41 any more. With BW it will be interesting to compare them. 73, KC8TKA

Paul, My Sunpak 611 setup has some of the same lacks. Losing 2-3 stops with the umbrella or diffuser takes away a lot. The 611 GN is 160 (in ft), which means 10 ft @ f16 directo or, iirc, 8ft @ f8 off a white umbrella. Less when the umbrella can't be as close. I'm looking @ some used JTL

Pentax illogical? No. Japanese, yes. Like the Japanese auto mfg. in Ohio where I work, they're engineering driven. They are neihter marketplace- nor marketing department-driven. Hence Pentax will often make the very best, but be slower about it. The unfortunate thing is that they are so slow.
