I sold all of my Pentax gear last year, but I kept one of the Metz AF50 Flash's For Pentax as a back up flash.
Anyway, its been laying around neglected so I am offering it for sale, I no longer have the box, but the flash works fine, there are velcro pads on the flash head for when I used Gels, but apart from that, the flash is in great shape and works flawlessly.

Would make an ideal first flash unit for a Pentax user getting into flash for the first time, or someone looking for an additional flash. £60 via PayPal which will include postage via RMSD.

Any questions please PM me.

Many Thanks

It's a shame Pentax have taken so long to get a full frame camera out. If it shares some of the same qualities as the K3, I am sure it will be a winner with Pentax users. However, the reality is that camera tech is moving more towards mirrorless and thats the direction Pentax need to move in too. Pentax could learn a lot from Fuji & Sony in terms of adaptors for other mounts being made by third parties.

I no longer use Pentax gear and have not been back to this site for ages, but today i just thought i would check in with Pentax User and have a read and look for old times sake and came across you post.

My suggestions would be: Apart from the lens selection, check out the venues, it will give you an idea of where you may want to photograph from and the types of lighting and backgrounds you may encounter. Just remember the light will be different from now, indoors or outdoors than in September.

If you have or can borrow a 16mm to 50mm and a 50mm to 135mm you will have the bread and butter of wedding focal lengths covered for APS-C cameras.

What I do now is try and arrange an engagment shoot prior to the wedding, that way the couple get used to being photographed and you can practice a few ideas. SLR Lounge have a few Youtube videos with some great simple posses like the V up which will really make your images of the couple look great with very simple instruction. You do't need a load of lenses, just a few thought out ideas and plans which will make the experience stress free and enjoyable and provide you with some good images.

Everyone has to start somewhere, I have been there myself.
