I didn't see anything on the forums regarding this - I've got a nice Nikkor ED AF 80-300 2.8 zoom and a speedlight sb-22 but finding it hard to get info on adapters. Could I use the flash as a slave? it has an pc/xSync port which my k200d lacks, I'd love to get it working some way.
I understand mount adapters can result in the lens unable to focus to infinity, but I can't find if even a non-infinity-focusing adapter is available.
UPDATE - found this thread about nikon flashes with pentax, I guss I'll have to play around with it but sounds like it'll work! the lens is a much bigger deal though...
thanks for any info.

Changing (lenses, cards, etc) I found one of my old film loading bags, i think that'll help when things need moving about.
Janosh - thank you, very helpful - rule #2 should be stickied everywhere... polarizer, interesting, I have the uv filters maybe I'll bring a backup to cover damage and skip the polarizer. Multiple types of brushes, hadn't thought about that.
Big Rocket Blower - had no idea about this, ty!
Any other tips/tricks? I wish I had an idea for something to keep my camera a little cool from 10 am - 6 pm (still waiting to hear from Pentax what the melting point is, maybe it's not an issue)

I saw one post on desert photography with a few helpful tips (keep camera dust safe except when shooting, focus on morning/evening, maybe an underwater protection casing (expensive?)) but as I'm about to head to burning man I'm hoping for more tips / advice.
Bringing a k200d w/ a DA* lens (16-50 f2.8). I'm worried about dust with the lens focus and zoom rings but I hear the DA* are really well sealed. I'm worried about heat where my camera is stored (in the tent) during the day (asked Pentax support at what temp the camera will become damaged, will post their response).
I'd love any shooting tips as well (polarizing filter...). And I'd really like to bring my FA 50mm 1.4 lens for night shooting but afraid it'll grind to a halt after a day, any thoughts? I've seen some creative bags+tape lens protections, I'll do at least that I guess (will remind me of trying to seal my holgas...)
thanks
