Thanks for the help guys on the firmware, I was finally able to get it done and nothing bad happened :-) Updated to the 1.20 now
The Albinar 28mm Was a used lens, I took it apart and did not find that pin so the old owner must have took it out. So I put it back together again and tried it out.
This is the first shot I tried with this little lens I think it is right.. I am not used to using the aperture ring and I am not thinking I am using it right yet.
I am thinking I would just turn it to whatever I would normally have the F stop at on the camera
The only thing I can control right now is the shutter speed and the ISO with this lens
Right now, I am using flashlights for the light

The only thing I could not do was focus stack it.. I took about 5 shots in different areas and my computer crashed on my while focus stacking in photoshop LOL!
This so, this is just one shot

I love yongno flashes, which version should I be looking at? The ones I have been looking at was 460-465 and the 560, I did own a 560ii but had to sell it because it was for my Nikon LOL
OOO cool $8 is so in my budget, that is ordered! I did not think using the pop up flash would be a good idea, but with that, that would be perfect, thanks so much!

Thank you guys I really appreciate all the help here!
I have been playing with the K-3 now for about a week and getting used to the lenses, I have found out how to use the 135 Macro but yet have to figure out how to use the Albinar 28mm Macro Manual lens, I can get decent landscape shots with it but using it up close is another story, why i brought it in the first place.
I have now also the pentax extension tubes, 1,2 and 3. (not the cheap plastic ones the metal ones) _ added, I also have my tripod ready to roll as well as a remote.
Now, I am searching for the flash and I know that it was mentioned in the past posts, I have been scouring and combing through the threads about flashes, TTL and ring flashes and this is all confusing me LOL
I am not sure I want a ring flash but it seems that is the way to go for the macro?
My budget is around $75.00 for a flash, I was hoping for something that I could use off camera as well if I needed too with a cable release for when I work on still photography.
I am not sure what I am looking for when it comes to the flash and the details of what is good or not.
I did find this
Vivitar DF-283 Shoe Mount Digital TTL Auto-Focus Flash f/Pentax VIVDF283PEN
Suggestions on other good brands or what shall I be looking for when it comes to flash, i was really hoping to spend around 35-50 but No more than 80$

Thank you so much for the replies...
I will be speclializing in taking pictures of snowlfakes in the winter, and especially insects in the summer...
I am not fond of macro flowers at all.. but these two things just facinate me and I want to really get involved in it...
Right now I cheat and I take my 50mm lens off and then switch it around giving me the macro feel but it just doesnt do well, I plan on doing some macro stacking as well when I process it...
Hope that helps!
I am not into doing close or far away subjects
Right now I do own a Yoguono 560-II and I LOVE IT!! but only used it a few times, I hope to be out in nature taking these shots using natural lights and not indoors

I have already tried the Macro filters just for fun and I was really not impressed with using them ... I just thought they did a crappy job and the details to the images were not there at all...
I resold those...
These are the images I really want to to try to recreate... I fell in love with these

Hello folks I am in the process of getting my supplies for my new upgrade camera, I was going to go with the Pentax K-50 but instead I am going for the K-3
I am in love with it!!!
I am wanting to specialize in macro and then in wildlife....
Right now I am having issues trying to debate and how to tell which macro lens would be perfect for what I need...
If I can buy used I will...
Do you need extension tubes to work with the macro lenses or are they used separately or do they really work at all?? They are very cheap to come by but as I am finding out in the camera/electronic world its just .. you get what you pay for kinda of thing...
I am thinking about a Konica K lens but have no experience in pentax or how it works (Nikon User)
Are second brand lenses ok????
