Sensible offers considered for this mint condition comprehensively spec'd German-made flash unit. The photos above do not show the flash camera-mounted so please be assured that it does of course have the Pentax hot shoe mount. This is the Pentax-specific version of the 50 AF-1, not a generic flash, so is not compatible with other camera makes.

Hi Jim

I'd be interested in this flash if you still have it for sale for my K-3.
I'm from Northern Ireland so there might be a pound or 2 extra to get it here, so happy to still offer you the £95, but you can check costs if you like. You can also PM me back too, whatever suits.

Many thanks,
Mike.
