I'm a big Pentax fan--I own Pentax gear almost exclusively--which I guess makes me a non-rational self-flagellating fanboi, but I would recommend you away from a Pentax flash, new or not. If I had back the cash I sunk into two AF540's and an AF160, I'd buy three or four Vivitars or other inexpensive manual flashes *and* a van-load of modifiers. Or: I'd buy two Alien Bees B1600's and a Vagabond portable battery to run 'em. Pentax will never catch up to Nikon's system, and even if they do, it's way too expensive and underpowered for what you get. I use these gadgets because it's what I have and I can't afford new stuff, but I'm so much wiser now. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
