I don't use flash often, have never taken time to master the process. But I have an upcoming project that provides the incentive to revisit this aspect of my photography.
I have the Pentax AF360 FGZ that I bought long ago to pair with my MZ-S and which I have used occasionally. I am considering adding the AF540 FGZ. Two things holding me back at this point: a. IIRC Pentax is coming out sometime soon with a replacement for the AF540. b. I have noted discussions here about Metz and other alternatives. So, my questions: a. Has anybody heard anything more about if/when and for how much we'll have an AF540 replacement? b1. If I go with Metz or other system, do I lose functionality on my K-5ii? i.e., will I still have the same capability for wireless triggering, the use of two-flash setups, etc? b2. Other than cost, are there any advantages to the Metz or other systems? b3. Other than Pentax and Metz, which other alternative brands should I look at for good, fully capable, reliable flash in the AF540 range? Thanks! stan -- 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.
