Pentax AF400FTZ flash (angle, swivel and zoom) fully working with case.
This is a TTL flash thus not a lot of help on a K10, but ok on all TTL body’s.
You will have to collect or pay postage.

You're a generous man. You'd probably get thirty quid on Ebay. These are quite poweful units which work well in manual mode.

If I didn't already have an adequate supply of flashguns I'd take up your offer.

Hi G

I don’t know about that, I am just trying to help a fellow enthusiast.

The idea is not to supply Ebay food for people, and I would hope that this would not happen within a close and friendly group.

I know that I can’t control what happen to it but let’s hope that the moral code of this group is stronger than the desire to make a few quid.

Would this work on my K100 Super? If it would/does, I would be very grateful of your generous offer I just have the built in flash at the moment, which is a bit lacking, and is prone to showing shadows of the lens

Yes it'll work, but . . .

. . . TTL will not work as it's not supported by your camera. Only the *istD and *istDS bodies support TTL.

When switched to TTL, the flash will fully discharge. Alternatively you can use the H or L manual settings.

I have read my manual (RTFM ) and it seems I need a P-TTL flash, to work as intended on my K100 Super. Can anyone recommend a (cheap) starter flash, as there are occasions that warrant a better unit than the built in flash, plus it is another medium to experiment with!
Jim, thank you for your very kind offer (not many of us about ), but I will decline and leave it to someone who will use it as intended

I really don't need this: could someone please snap it up before FBA (lesser known cousin of LBA) gets the better of me.

Serendipity: it will work with your camera, it just won't offer the full range of automatic functions that a P-TTL flash will. The cheapest P-TTL flash is the AF200FG which at £75 is a good £75 more than this one, and while it has P-TTL it doesn't have bounce or swivel.

Thanks for twisting my Mellon Stevo The way you have put it, has changed my mind (oh dear).
Jim, if it is OK with you I would like first bite at the flash (that sounds perverted), apologies for messing you around

Sorry I haven’t been able to get back to you sooner but it should be collected by a forum member who is visiting Ledbury today. (yet another Mike)
I will let you know if the collection doesn’t go ahead.
I will have to see what else I have in stock.

Jim

p.s. Mike 1 did contact me first
