Hi James, I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but the quick and easy fix is to use the AF360 in slave mode triggered by the AF280.
Set the AF360 to wireless mode. Press and hold the "Light" button for about 3 seconds until the display changes to show the slave mode. I think you want slave mode 2 for simple slave flash, slave mode 1 is P-TTL wireless. I've used this set up with 3 AF360's in Manual mode photographing porcelain figurines for my wife and macro work. Hope this helps. -- Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon jim wrote: > I have 2 flashes, a AF360FGZ and a AF280T which I intended to use for macro > work with my SMC Takumar macro 100 plus an extention tube on my K10D. > I made up a flash Bracket at work and used the pentax 5P cables to connect > everything together. > Set both flashes to manual full power only to discover that only the 280T > fired.
