Just seeing this. Excuse my ignorance but does it mean I can plug into my K3 and take pictures at the same time? Using this instead of batteries

What's your take on the Cactus Flash for beginners to flash photography? Since its manual only, how does it stack up against the various Yongnuo offerings out there?

Hi Judderman62,

How heavy is the Cactus? My K3 with Sigma lens isn't exactly light so I am now concerned about total weight but I do like what I've heard about the Cactus. I know everyone raves about the triggers but how good is the gun itself?

I'm going to look closer at the Sigma and the Cactus. Thanks for all the comments.

I have read all the related questions and answers and I apologise if I am asking for the same information. I am new to off camera flash photography and Im not yet sure if I am ready for (p)ttl so my question is really around the best manual settings based options

Right now, I have no justification for buying anything really expensive and as much as I have seen the great reviews for the Metz brand I'm happy to start with something else until I become much more proficient than I currently am. So I've narrowed down my options to Youngnou at the lower end and Sigma at the higher end. I want the ability to swivel, bounce etc but I don't want to break the bank. It would be nice to get some diffusers as well.

When I know what Im doing, I'll upgrade. Recommendations welcome, even if it's not the brands I mentioned. Thanks

I've revived my love of film photography and Im looking for a good quality, reasonably priced KX or MX to buy. Must be in complete working order - light meter especially - and come with a lens. I wouldnt mind instruction manual as well but that's optional.

50mm f1/7 Pentax with front and rear caps.
28mm f2.8 Sigma wide angle lens with caps, hood and leather case

Both are in excellent condition.

Asking £80 for both including P&P Or £40 for each
