way more expensive. The hot shoe mount is kind of flimsy. The rest of it seems
well made. It takes a lithium ion battery or 4 Ni-Mh/AA.

My lamp has 312 LEDs and it's bright enough to add some light in fall-off areas

I'd be careful with that. There *are* flashes out there with trigger
voltages high enough to fry the circuitry even on cameras with circuitry
as robust as those Pentax makes.
And, I know they make an adapter to allow you to use regular hot-shoe

I don't know where you're getting your pricing, Adam. I just hunted
Ebay and KEH and a couple other places. The SB-24s are running $99-
$200 used, compared to $80 NEW for the Sunpak 383. I've had this
Sunpak for four years and it's done a lot of duty for me. A previous

Chris,
The 5P cable system will work with ALL flashes that work on the hotshoe

I'd like to buy the correct equipment to do off camera flash witht eh
above cameras, and I prsume I can use the same equipment on both to do
it.. however, I can't for the life of me figure out WHAT I need.
OK, so I've got the camera(s) and flash gun, let's pretend I've got a

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)

Interesting stuff. Unfortunately
Is there a simple and inexpensive way to use my Sunpak 383 Super
flash with my ZX-M and be able to hand-hold the flash away from the
hot shoe? There doesn't seem to be any socket on the ZX-M body
for the sorts of flash extension cords I see at the camera store.
Or maybe it's not so simple and
Just go to BH or Adorama and do a search on slave and you'll get tons of
stuff. I think Wein (Wien?) and some other companies make little gizmos
that will turn some flashes into slaves.

Hi,
