If anyone has a Pentax AF-160 FC Macro Ringflash that they're not using and want to get rid of I may be interested at the right price.

Many thanks

Just to be more specific a Sigma EM-140 Pentax fit would be just as good if anyone has one they're willing to part with at a reasonable price?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the offer, can't find much info on this, does it have any TTL capabilities or is it just manual?

Cheers,

Andy

I'm pretty sure it's ttl but not pttl. It works a treat with my Vivitar series 1 105mm macro.

Hi Steve,

I've looked at the spec for this and think I'll wait to get my hands on a P-TTL capable ring flash, thanks for the offer though, much appreciated.

Cheers,

Andy

Just a fyi - AF-160 is really really good - much better than the 3rd party ones because the flash tubes are large and almost cover 360 degrees. P-TTL even works for me with 2 Raynoxes mounted at -2EV.

... just another middle-aged guy with a hobby. I have an extreme macro learning site at extreme-macro.co.uk - Pentax-centric, your feedback and comments would be appreciated!
