These are the basic components required

& this is one I made earlier, built into a hotshoe adapter.


I have also built this circuit into an old Vivtar 273 which had a trigger voltage of 327v! It is now safe at 6v. Couple of images here >>>>>>>> link

At some indefineable point in the past "creepy-crawlies" became known as "mini-beasts" - does anyone know when this strange transformation of language occured?

I had one of these a couple of years ago but gave it away. As I remember it works very simply. Set switch on front to Auto then set aperture to match ISO scale on rear ISO 100 - f5.6, 200 - f8, 400 - f11 or set switch to Manual & check scale on rear to select correct aperture ie: at ISO 100 with flash to subject distance of 2 feet set aperture to f8 (this is from memory so check scale on your flash!!)
Hope this helps.

First check if you need it.
Put a voltmeter across the flash terminals while the unit is charged.
You won't find many flashguns that have a voltage of more than about 20. And that's fine on a Pentax.
For the price of a Wein you could buy a suitable second-hand flashgun.
