<p>I have a question about using Calumet 750r Travelites with a Paul Buff Vagabond II Battery Pack -<br>

Would you leave it set to "AC" and plug the 750r into the Vagabond like a wall socket? Or do you switch the travelite to "battery" setting?<br>

I ask because I just got the vagabond. Tested it yesterday and just left the 750r on the AC setting. It seemed to work fine. I was shooting indoors so I plugged the 750r back into the wall and shot 200+ photos. Today I was midway through finishing an indoor shoot (still plugged into the wall) and the same travelite I had tested the Vagabond with started smoking profusely and seemed to die.<br>

Sending the 750r in to get it fixed (I still have 2 that work ) but I'm a little worried about trying the other 750r Travelites with the Vagabond again, and the Calumet website is woefully lacking in support info. Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>

I'm just wondering if anyone has used a Pentax K Mount adapter with focus

confirmation.

I'm trying to find a good pancake lens to use on my small DSLR (A rebel XT) to

make it compact enough to take with me everywhere. I know finding focus on a

manual lens is sometimes pretty tricky (especially because I like to shoot wide

open) so this solution makes sense if it works.

I found one for $50 delivered on ebay, and just wanted to pose the question

before i purchase.

thanks!
