If you check with your locally owned camera stores and get lucky, you
might find a perfectly good USED light kit of the kind Paul is talking
about for substantially less than $1,000.

Nice kid pic. No AC adapter for the Pentax flash that I’m aware of.
There is a battery pack power unit that uses 8 C cells, but I’ve
found that it doesn’t speed up recycling by a large amount. The best
option for you might be a set of 110 powered moonlights. You can get
a pair with stands and umbrellas for less than $1000, and they’ll
recycle almost immediately at partial power which is all you’ll
need.

Hello & Happy Holiday to one & all....
I'm sorry it's been a while since I've been around... life has gotten
busy and photographic inspiration has been scarce, it seems. So it
goes. Hope all is well with you?
I think I already know the answer to my question (no), but here goes:
does anyone know is there an AC adapter set-up available for the
Pentax 540 (or 360) flash? My vivitar has one... the pentax flashes
don't appear equipped for this. Maybe there's a work-around?
I had a crew at my place yesterday for a quick Christmas card
shoot... I often just go with natural light in there, but it was a
rainy, overcast morning... and this bunch isn't much for sitting
still... So, more light was in order, and it would have been great to
have faster recycle times...
Though, I wonder what the terminal velocity is for recycle times...?
Would having AC power be any faster than running flashes at 1/64 or
1/32...?
And, just to give you an idea of what I was up against, a peso... ;)
