It should fit in a Lowepro Lens Case 4 for transport - I've measured the flash and ordered one on the basis of the internal dimensions listed on the Lowepro website.

Pentax have never said that you can't use their own older flashes IIRC, and the AF240Z has a trigger voltage of between 7-8v. I therefore take that as my max safe voltage, as I have an AF240Z for compact on-camera external flash and a Metz 45CL-1 (6-7v) as the hammerhead monster.

Randomly dumping buckets of water out of your bedroom window in the middle of the night should do wonders. Especially if you lace it with food dye or something equally messy yet harmless.

I always blank out numberplates before uploading any vehicle photos. There have been credible reports of criminals either cloning cars from photos on the web or tracking them down in order to steal them in the case of more desirable machinery.

Their stupidity ends careers. Skilled train drivers have had to leave their jobs due to PTSD brought on by one selfish idiot's game of "chicken".

I would dearly love to see the paperwork if you refused to stop dangling your feet in the water of a publicly accessible fountain and just sat there calmly refusing to move.

I know there have been some problems with some examples of this lens on DSLRs, these usually seem to be the black versions as opposed to the silver ones. This is a fault with the individual lens though rather than the system.

It isn't the duty/VAT that stings so much as the outrageous "admin fee" imposed by Parcelfarce to collect it.
