Designed to give photographers better image quality, the E-510 from Olympus takes over the role of the E-500 and provides you with superior quality performances, notably thanks to its large sensor and double image stabilisation system. Elected “Best Consumer Camera” by the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) for 2007-2008, the E-510 delivers images that are rich in colour and detail, thanks to its 10-megapixel Live MOS sensor. Meanwhile, its TruePic III image processor impressively processes sound and makes sure that images are extremely realistic with their colours, definition and contrast. With its large 2.5″ HyperCrystal screen and Live View function, you can frame your photos directly on its screen without needing to use the viewfinder, and following the example of its predecessor, the E-510 comes with a supersonic wave filter (SSWF) to solve the problem of dust, a weakness for which traditional interchangeable lens reflex cameras are known for. From the point of view of user friendliness, the E-510 retains the same compact format and is very easy to handle, offering numerous predefined scene modes that are adapted to most situations. At the same time, its manual controls give you the possibility of adding your own personal style. The E-510 is also compatible with different memory card formats, making it even more enjoyable to use, and is supplied with 2 lenses; the 14-42 mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens offers a 3x optical zoom and is designed to meet your needs in most photo situations, while the 40-150mm 1:4.0-5.6 lens is more specifically designed for sports or portrait photographers and comes with a 3.8x optical zoom. Suitable for use by both beginners and professionals, the E-510 successfully combines all the know-how of Olympus and yet again confirms the manufacturer’s commitment to the search for a 100% perfect camera.
this is a great flash for macro photography and I am selling it.
update: my dad writes: “I recently bought a PentaxK20D which takes great pictures and uses all my old Pentax lenses, but my Pentax AF140 ring flash will not work TTL (Through The Lens) with the digital camera; it fires, but only at full power. A ring flash fits on the end of the lens for extreme close ups, so that the lens shadow does not get in the picture. I have found a way around this by using a neutral density filter (cuts down the light transmitted, but does not change the color) to cut down the light from the subject. A 3-stop neutral density filter is just right at the closest distance to the subject (ie. 1:1) with my Tamron macro lens at f32 and the camera sensitivity at ISO100. This is fine for very small insects, and for larger subjects such as moths I either increase the ISO or go to a larger aperture, such as f22, or f16. I was using ISO200 and f16 for a praying mantis a month ago.

I discuss how to attach a genuine Pentax M42 Adapter to a K mount camera. I also discuss how a “pre-set” lens is used in combination with Av mode on the camera.
