Hi Dave
Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of Pentax.
You may find this worth a look in terms of getting to grips with the K5 link
Can't offer an opinion on the Metz as I use a Pentax flash

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

Hi Dave, I saw something the other day about K5 tutorials - I'll see if I can find it again but I'm sure Google will be your friend in this respect and that others here may have positive / negative experience re/ DVDs to share.
If you can stretch to a Metz 50 (or the older 48 - basically the same thing I believe) then you'll have a superb flash that'll do everything you want, including HSS.
Nice link and options here : link
Look forward to seeing some shots !

I have just got my K-5 and become a member of Pentax User Plus. I am not new to photography as I had a Canon 5D prior to this.
Is there any good advice / links for getting going with the K-5? I have previously used the Blue Crane DVD's but notice there are non available for Pentax. Are there any other video tutorials as youtube also seemed a bit sparce.
I am also looking to get a Metz 44 AF-1 flash unit when funds allow. Does this flash perform well I know it doesn't have HSS but will I be able to use it with my M42 lens collection I have recently inherited.
Many Thanks
