I just upgraded to the K7 on Monday the 22nd. Must say it has a lovely shutter sound. Not so loud like my old K20D.

Hi Tony,

Its a great replacement isn't it?

One of my friends got his from a site called DealExtreme.com.

Here is the link:
http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.battery%20grip

USD$54.77 and has 2 different baterry holer, one for the li-on and the other for AA.

It will work like your AF360FGZ did but you lose the ability to trigger another flashgun over P-TTL with the metz48, that's all.

You don't need that with the pentax, they just make sure their camera works with them

For the bang of bucks I would go for the Metz. Have played with the sigma but there interface is not for me, a lot of menus. Don't know about how the interface of the Metz is though...

I went for Pentax just to be sure and their flashes are made by sunpack BTW[/quote]Wow didn't know that Pentax flashes were made by Sunpak. That is interesting.

The main reason i liked Metz is because I used to own the 32 CT-3 and it recently died after 20 odd years of use.

The 58 AF-i has a straightforward menu so it is easy to configure.

€289 for the 58 is SGD$605.583, which a bit more than I got for.

now to start playing with it and update in here.

Just bought my Metz 58 AF-i instead of the lower end as I wanted to use for future events. Will be trying it out and will post pics that I use with flash over here soon.

It cost me SGD$600.00 but i think it will be worth the investment. The price of the 48 was $499.00 so for a $100 more I will try to earn back my cost from events.

Thanks Guys for the great advise. Will also look at the Metz 48

Yes I tend to bounce flash off the ceiling, not use direct flash.

According to a website I saw, think it was from Matthew Miller, there was a table to the features and it had the most. Even my Pentax friends in Singapore also mentioned that Metz was the best but more expensive then the Pentax.

This site has a comprehensive explanation of the various brands of flash guns.

I do have a manual gun but am looking for an auto as I need to do a school event on the 3rd of Nov and don't want to mess up. It's a Ricoh XR Speedlite 300P which I got together with a Ricoh XR-20SP body on Pentaxforums recently.

Thanks for all the advise. Was thinking of the 270 degree swivel as I tend to take portrait length pics too. The 360 can't swivel though, but will give it a thought.
