Vic, I use the hot shoe grip with the AF500FTZ and my 645n. I have the 5p cord run from the flash to the hot shoe on the 645n via a Hot Shoe Adapter F and all functions work. I just ignore the contacts and plugs on the grip, the adapters take care of the TTL and stuff. All this also works with my

Here's my best guess. Since Pentax made the Hot Shoe Grip as the only way to do off camera flash with the 280T, try this. Use the Hot Shoe Adapter F (31022) to a F5P Cord (37347) to a Off Camera Hot Shoe Adapter F (31046). It has 5 wire hook up but since the 280T only has 4, the 5th wire will

It's not the manual rewind knob is it? On the bottom of the camera there should be a threaded knob that looks like a battery cover only it has black rubber around it. It's missing from a lot of used 645's. And I don't meen the internal small battery cover. If this knob is there you'll know it.
