Talking about lens , yes pentax has great lenses.
What I meant was,
Take Sigma lenses. They make a macro lens in 100mm ,150,180mm.
The 180 with a Pentax mount is 150-200$ more than with a Canon or Nikon mt. And they do not make the 150mm lens for Pentax.
Same way with Flash cords,brackets,Tubes(for macro),ect . It is hard to find them for Penax.

PC sync is what you said it for studio lighting or a flash on a bracket.
I've always used Pentax all my Film cameras had one. So I'm disappointed Pentax didn't take the few cents and provide them in their top end camera.

Well I'm not going to rush out and get something else so soon.


Nice chat ,
have a good one ..

Well, I got my Vivitar Series I 100mm f2.8 1:1 macro for $300 used (in very good condition), and I'm very happy with it! Like I said though, I don't really use flashes or anything else like that.

Right, but what I was quoting was a features list for the K20D from Amazon, meaning they DID include it in their flagship camera.

Quote"X-sync socket
Pentax has added a flash sync socket to the left-hand side of the K20D body, allowing the use of external flashes and lights that aren't compatible with Pentax's wireless flash system. "

Well they did on the K20 , oh man why not on mine..
Now I'm all jealous of you again
I could really use it on mine .

Well it's not my fault. Maybe I should get into that whole "flash" thing though, and start making use of that X-Sync socket.
