Igor, yes: the simple trigger/receivers have no proprietary smarts,
like P-TTL. It's a simple fire-the-center-pin arrangement. So the
upside is you can trigger most any flash, and therefore the cheap and
stupid ones are all you need.
The downside is your ultra-smart P-TTL flash you paid megabucks
Bruce,
I assume that the only thing these units do to a flash is triggering,
and nothing else. I.e. any simple flash should work if the trigger
voltage is compatible.
The webpage lists just a handfull of Pentax flashes there
(while adding "Other flash models with a trigger voltage of 12V or low
This is undoubtedly true, John. I've had to fiddle with a couple of
mine to straighten out the shoe hold-down collars, for instance. They
tend to get cross-threaded easily.
But if you don't use them a lot, and especially if they aren't earning
revenue for you, at $10 a unit you can afford to go th
The eBay triggers work fairly well, but they're kind of flimsy. If you
use them a lot, you're likely to have to replace them quite frequently.
After the second set, I replaced mine with the Paul C. Buff Cyber-Sync &
I'm happy with them. I think you get fair value for your money.

Nope. Just turned it off & on again... once during troubleshooting. Then off

I considered suggesting the same thing, but "- turning off flash,
shooting manual exposure mode" ...
If it was a problem with P-TTL shouldn't the shutter have triggered in
manual exposure with no flash?
Unless maybe the camera software just got scrambled & didn't
clear right away.

Yikes. Let's hope it's not a problem caused by the solution to a
different problem. That would be too much to bear...
Since it was just my son, not a client, I was shooting, and we were
only 2 blocks from home, I didn't bring the back-up gear that I
usually do to a shoot... the bag with the k7,

Yes, I was thinking along those lines, too... I usually just use the
flash off-camera indo

I love the shot.
Can't help specifically with the system glitch, but I wonder if
there's any chance the flash was the problem. The camera might be
waiting for signals from the P-TTL logic. Sometimes it helps the
wireless stuff if you add a reflector of some sort (eg tinfoil) to the
popup head to g
Can't help with the camera (hope it's a one-time anomaly) but that's a terrific
photo of your son. Such attitude!

You'll know soon. If it repeats, something is wrong. But chances are good that
it's a one time thing.

Thanks, Paul.
I hope it's not the same issue as the mirror flop. I'd feel better if
it were "user error"... more easily fixed, and it would make shelling
out for a new k-5II easier...

LOL. His face just doesn't say bad. He's a good looking kid. I'm
surprised we haven't seen more pictures of him before.

Nice shot. Great job on the lighting.
Don't know what could be plaguing your camera, although it sounds like the same
mirror motor problem. Hopefully, it was just a one-time glitch.
