Chinon 800CBS £ obo and a Metz Mecablitz 32 MZ-3 £30 obo (plus postage)

For sale separately or together (at a discount together)

The Chinon seems to work perfectly - I haven't explored the automatic functions in detail (no instruction manual).

The Metz is a very good flash and included with it (in it) is the SCA 3702 adapter for use on Pentax, I think these sell for about £10-£15 on their own. I've got a manual to include with this flashgun.

both flashes bounce and tilt, the metz also swivels all the way around and has an area to stick a card in (I've often used a folded piece of A4 paper as a bounce card, which works very well.

I've been using them as extra lighting with optical triggers with great results!

let me know if you have any questions and here's 2 pics:

hi melness, yes, thanks - forgot to mention that. I've used both of these on various digital pentax cameras (ist *ds, k10d, k20d) - I think they're not TTL but I seem to remember the Metz has an "A" mode that works pretty well.

In general I used these as fully manual flashes though, I find I have more control over lighting that way.

no interest in cheap simple flashes? although that said, they do have a bunch of "A" settings that work.
