Update:

I've managed to get a Pentax AF-360FGZ at a bargain price, hoping to try it out this weekend.
Thanks for the help gents

If you would like a less expensive option there is a Sigma alternative that I got after reading Nigel McGregor's excellent guide.

I have the Sigma EF-610 DG Super for Pentax.

It appears to have all the features of the Pentax Flashes including High Speed Synch.

I've not checked whether it is still available but it's worth looking ?

That's really helpful Peter, thanks. I'll look out for it

Got it back in 4 days!
It's now better than when I bought it !! (The focus ring was always quite stiff too)

Excellent service!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, serious food for thought!
I have a Minolta film and slide scanner for sale, I bought it to scan all my slides and negatives but it is now not being used.
It comes with the software, cables, slide holder and 35mm film holder plus instruction book. Works perfectly.

Would sell for £100 plus postage

The problem isn't the autofocus, there is 'play' in the barrel and i can hear what sounds like a small screw rattling around inside.
I contacted John Pye again by email and am waiting for a reply,
I've also contacted 'CamExpert.UK' still waiting for a reply from them too.
