Anyone got an old AF500FTZ flash they want to get rid of for a reasonable price?

Got an AF330FTZ, but hate the fact I can't bounce it...

I haven't used mine for a while and much as I don't want to part with it I always have something else to turn to......

Thanks for all the messages.

I just missed one that went on eBay for €60, so I'd be looking to pay about £50.

£67 inc P&P is a bit much!

Oh well, will just have to keep my eyes out.

Thanks though!

Why don't you do someone a straight swap with the lower
powered AF330FTZ?
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff

SRS have already sold it.

Anyone else want 50 odd quid for your old flashgun, sitting getting dusty on a shelf somewhere...?

I'll try again,

a bit more expensive, but a more realistic price for a quality gun.

I have had one since new, £50 would be a joke.

I don't think £50 is a joke, or I wouldn't have asked.

As I said, I unfortunately missed one on eBay that sold for €60, and SRS think that £59 is a profitable price for them (and thanks for your previous pointer).

50.00 is reasonable IMHO for a non p-TTL flash. That said, someone at a camera fair tried to charge me 120.00 for one! Would one of the Yongnuo flashes be an acceptable alternative?

I'd like to use it on my Z-1P as well as my K5, so would prefer having a Pentax TTL and manual options in one flash.

I already have two Metz 45-CL4s, an AF330FTZ and a Sigma EF-530DG Super, so I'm in no hurry!

Errrr no... I would rather mine sat on a shelf gathering dust.

At least it will keep my 45 CL-4, AF540FGZ and SB-900 company
