Major problem with Sigma E500 Flash on K10D

Hi all

I have purchesed the sigma E500 super flash for the K10 and I am now sending a second one back in less than a week.

Simple terms (Bad connection) when mounted the flash meterng keeps going off and yesterday whilst doing a shoot the dam thing would not even switch off the only way was to disconect the batterys on the flash unit itself.

Not impressed worried in case my camera is faulty anway I can check ??. No good taking it to jessops they dont stock pentax flash units to try it out.

Did the AF360 you had work okay?

I'm wincing at the thought of some of the comments you may get from others here...

Don't be too sure - my local branch had two, one of which I bought.

didnt really test the 360 long enough. The only reason I went for the sigma was it had the swivel and tilt head and is a lot less than the more expensive pentax version..

Pete,

Have you thought of something like this?

I like the animation. Don't tell me...it's a device for negating the effects of the Pentax SR system...

The main Jessops in Birmingham City Centre had several 360s in stock a few weeks ago. I bought mine from them.
