Hi Dave,
When you factor in both adapters, case, manual, and
mint condition, I think the $150 is an OK price. I would
do it. You could search ebay till you find the same thing,
but it would probably be a long search.
I like your strategy though, buy a camera for the flash ;),
I`ll keep that in mind for the war department.

Hi Steve.
If thats $150 USd i'd say its steep too.I recently
bought a used AF280T, i'm in Canada, for $100 USd
with case but no manual.Got one form Pentax Canada
at n/c.
Nice flash,good results from the few times
i'v used it.Tooka few inside at night bounce shots
of my cats,no burn,nice picture.
I don't find it big or bulky,especially
after using the Vivitar 285 HV on the D1.
I bought a Super Program to go with the flash BTW.

Hi Steve,
$150 is a little steep, but since everything is included, if it
were me, I`d go for it. Later on you can try the "Hot Shoe Grip"
with bracket and the "4P Sync Cord B", it`s an excellent set
up for off camera flash work. The 4P Sync Cord B comes in
two lengths, one meter, and three meter.
Pentax did not make a diffuser for the AF200T, as there are no
slots for it to slide on.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I need a difuser for the
AF200T that I have?
Is a used AF280T with both the wide angle & the tele
adaptors for $150 a good price? It appears to be in
excellent condition with cases & manual.
Thanks for any suggestions!
