Bonjour Rense,

Just curious ... what type of flash did you use?

Merci et salut, John le Frog

Jean, I used the Pentax AF-360fgz....

Jean, I used the Pentax AF-360fgz....

Thanks ... did you use it on the K-5 mount or as a slave? I really like your snaps ... J

[Rense]

I used it on a bracket with a large home-made diffuser. Flash on a chord, of course.

Wow -- great! How'd you get the high magnification -- is the lens on extension?

Excellent. I wanted to buy the Pentax ring flash but was shocked by the price so I went out and bought a much cheaper ring light (not a flash). I haven't tried it yet. Have you tried these?

Excellent capture Rense. Great detail, and DOF just right.

Thanks again Rense. The "bracket" route is my next macro project advancement (along with some "plain jane" K-mount extension tubes), first a bracket and try it with the Metz 44 AF-1 in slave mode with diffusers on both the on-board flash and on the Metz ... and if that is not adequate, then a chord and abandon the on-board flash ... On verra.
