So this is the first lens for my Pentax K10 with the "A," body controlled aperture setting.
Feels like a new camera. What with proper exposure modes and all sorts of wing wang! Talk about luxury!
Anyway to celebrate I made you all a stamp 
Out of Ink
And since its a proper 50mm without a yellow stained piece of glass (as is the case with my Takumars), her is some free colour
Gotham, er Batman.. Er Melbourne
Going away to twiddle all my nobs now.

Great stuff! I have one and think it's woefully under-rated. Well, both the lens and the camera!

 You know that was the first thing i did.
Hooked up the flash and shoot same frames. Scrolling through the images im seeing, Blow highlight , blow image, no light WTF
In the magic surrounding the "a" setting I forgot completely that my little Pentax AF200s flash box is most certainly not TTL
But if i ever lash out and buy an updated flash box. .. .. |

Well, to tell you the truth... I have a modern flash also, but my most used flash is AF-280T which doesn't work as a TTL flash (it does with ist*D and ist*Ds, why did you have to change this Pentax?).
Usually the automatic mode enough for me and there's no pre-flash causing eye issues  .
