Pentax AF260Sa flash - any good?

The AF260Sa is an "analog" flash gun. It will work just fine with the MZ50 (and all bodies for that matter). However, you will probably get better results out of a flash that is either TTL or Autofocus-TTL (i.e. the newer Pentax flashes or compatibles such as Metz).
For the AF260Sa you will have to manually select the correct aperture. For instance, if you are using 100ASA film, set the flash to AE mode and set the camera to f4.
Here's an info page about its features and dates:

Hope that helps

I can't find any info on this flash on the net. Can someone please tell me:
- will it work with my MZ-50?
- is it any good?
- how old is it likely to be?
