I have a Pentax AF360 that I would be willing to sell (I did offer it to another member recently, but wasnt what they were looking for).
It was bought (with my now sold) K10D in Aug 2008. Has seen light use off camera and is in very good nick (would like to replace it with an SB800 or the like for my nikon body). It is unboxed and instructions come on PDF (this was how this was sold as new to me by calumet). There is a piece of velcro on the head which I used to attach bounce cards and gobos.
Battery comparment is of course clean and all works well.
Looking for £120 posted to anywhere in the UK.
Let me know if interested and I can sort some decent photos for you to look at.

I saw that deal re: the flash but hadn't heard of the retailer. Did a search and read things about that retailer around the net, such as items being sent from China so getting stung for VAT, invalid warranties, etc.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Hadn't seen that deal, but had priced according to similar on ebay (last one I followed went for £123 plus postage) so think actually its a pretty reasonable price

Panamoz has come up for discussion before. It's a grey market importer with an office (someone's bedroom, probably) in Hong Kong.
I think £120 is a pretty good deal. At least one has sold here recently for 150-160, and even a Samsung one has gone for 120 or so, IIRC.

I think he meant you can get a new one for that much.

i have a pentax af360 which is in mint condition, only used a handful of times. i really want to replace it as i want one that swivels. pm me if interested and i'll think about price.
would you believe i was stung for £300 for it new at spectrum photography on tottenham court road in london. i was in a hurry to get the flash for a particular job and just trusted them not to be too overpriced... i had to bargain them down from £350!! and this was november last year, when i believe other shops were doing it for aroun £200. suffice to say they aren't getting any repeat business from me.

Out of interest Gareth, how do you rate the Metz?

I love it. Bearing in mind the Pentax/Samsung 360 flash is only a 2 way flash head the Metz for only a little extra is a full 3 way head. I didn't read the manual just put it on and away I went. I haven't noticed any under / over exposure and so far its been spot on. I even had a play with the flash off camera with the camera set to controller and pop up flash set as wireless mode and took some pictures like that and again it didn't get the exposures wrong so I'm dead happy with it.
One thing I'm yet to play with is the high speed flash sync - not sure where you'd use that feature though ??
There is so much on it that its gonna be a learning curve for all the features - I highly recommend it !

Sounds good. I've been looking to get a flash myself and the Metz is certainly one I'm considering.
Sorry to OP for taking thread slightly off course.
