Depends how you want to use it Matt. Wireless capability is not important as you can buy very good wireless triggers for not much money and you can use these with any flashguns.
My preference is for cheap, powerful manual flashguns, they are very versatile, very controllable and easy to use. I have two Neewer TT560's that cost £25 each - superb kit for the price and much better than my Metz TTL unit. Yongnuo's cost a bit more but are similar and have good reviews from people that use them.
I use mine with Aputure triggers that work reliably up to 120 metres away!

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to just experiement with it really and possibly eventually buy a brolly and stand and try a bit of portrait flash photography. Would those flashguns you said work ok for that?

Hi,
I've just bought a Pentax K5 Body and a Tamron 18-200mm Lens. Bought this lens as I wanted an all in one travel lens for a bit and then can buy dedicated lenses as time goes on. What flashgun is best for this camera? One that will be good when its on the camera and also can be fired wireless when I want to experiment?

I had the K5 and Tamron 18-200mm lens delivered and had a good play with it yesterday.
80% of the shots i took were slightly out of focus. Does this body or this lens have a known focussing issue?
