Thanks for all the info guys. I am well aware of the costs of printing however a pro-printing lab around my city costs as much as 8£-10£ for A4 prints which is horrendously expensive.

Sorry for not providing enough info.
I do print both B&W and Color depends on what i am shooting so can't say which one is more (may be color).
A4 will be the largest size i would need but i do print 5x7"
I only used Gloss papers so far but don't know the differences between papers too much .

Hey guys, i was looking for a budget photo printer somewhere below 100£. Mainly to print my own work or for clients on the go. Although i worked in studios before i am not very familiar with printers so i can use some help and guidance.
I dont need any other features rather than printing so i am leaning towards Canon PIXMA iP7250 with Canon's pro papers.
I can use some guidance and some reviews.

I have been looking to get faster flash sync speed out of my K5ii when i noticed Qs have leaf shutter lenses. Unfortunately i am unable to find many portrait/ studio work samples from Q and was wondering if its good enough.
I will use the Q mainly outside (sometimes studio) just to get that HSS, even without that flash sync speed bonus the small package is appealing. VERY Appealing.
I can get a Q10 + kit zoom for 120£ or a DA 40xs but can't really decide ( considering leaf shutter bonus and smaller package but loss of image quality)
My photos are mainly for facebook/dvds and small prints (12x8 most) but is image quality good enough.
(Qs looks sexy)

At least i know it can be done somehow but seems like totally not worth it ^^. I will look into High speed sync thing, i heard of it but never bothered to google.

Thanks for the info! I always though it was 1/160.
That's the part i could't figured and asked if anybody ever archived that ( if its possible). I would love to archive 1/250 with my K5

I have been wondering if we can use a leaf shutter lens via adapters to get higher sync speed than Pentax's allowance ( i believe 1/160).
I have found several MAMIYA 645 70mm 2.8 Leaf Shutter lenses under 150£.
My question is can i archive faster shutter speed with leaf shutter lenses + adapters ?

Thanks for all the replies. I am thinking to get YN560 -TX with couple of YN560 now.
Is there any other major difference to YN560 -TX and RF603? I know TX gives control over slaves and has nikon/canon ttl + 10£ more expensive.

Hey Jatrax, thanks for reply.
I have read somewhere that said Yongnou 's are somewhere between 60-80watt equ. thats why i though 180/300 would be a huge improvement.
Although Cactus V6 seems very tempting, Yongnou's with build in transmitter for less than 50£ is a bargain! I can get 3x flash + transmitter + stands + diffusers less than 200£ and looks like a solid kit (not in terms of build quality :D ).

Hello Pentax forum, this is my first post here.
I have been shooting for few years now with my Sigma EF610 (not the super one) and i was finally decided to upgrade into more controlled flash system.
I mainly shoot portraits and events and have a budget around 150-200£. I also have little knowledge about radio transmitters work. And i do travel alot which is a big issue for me (Studying at UK but spending summers at Cyprus)
After doing some research about my problem i came up with 3 possible solutions.
A) 3x Yongnou flashes
B) Cheap Ebay strobe kits 3x 180w (inc stands and extra accessories)
C) 300w strobe + 1x Yongnou
I am leaning more towards the option A purely because of travel issues. But i fear A would limit my work at outdoors. Also i can use some help with radio transmitters too (pocket wizards way above my price range)
I would love to hear osme of your opinions!
