I have used Sigma flashguns with ease they are very reliable, have a look at this one.

I use Sigma flashgun, too. Mine is the older version of the flashgun that was linked by Stephen (EF-530 DG ST Super). I'm satisfied with that and that's price was quite good.

I also use Sigma flashes (3 of them). There are two models. The EF610DG ST is limited in it's function. The EF610DG Super can be use with all the Pentax functions,e.g. wireless, high speed shutter and more power ratio...For the price difference, I think it's worth buying the EF610 DG Super.

I have a Metz 48 AF-1 (or something like that). It's very good, decently priced, although the user interface is quite complicated.
