Hi. I have an AF 280T for sale, only because it doesn't get used since I have the AF400t as well. You can PM me if you are interested.
Have only JUST joined the forum having stumbled over it whilst looking for info on Pentax flashguns. I have the basic K100D and thought that the AF280T might be a good match for it. I can't stand using the built in flash any longer !!!
I am of course unable to pm you, being a newbie to the forum so would ask if you could let me know how much you would sell the flashgun for and perhaps indicate if it would include the user guide.

Hi Mick,
The AF280t is a TTL flashgun and I'm pretty sure the K100d only supports P-TTL. You could, of course, use it in auto mode where the flash's sensor controls light output but it wouldn't be my choice. Unfortunately the two modern Pentax 'guns are quite pricey but I've noted that some people are using Metz and Sigma ones which are significantly cheaper
For someone selling a flashgun, I praise your honesty gartmore. I will take your advice and NOT buy it. I'm looking at buying from SRS who I believe is a member on here. He has a Metz 36AF-4 together with diffuser & enloop (latest technology) batteries for £90.
It's my birthday on 10th and my wife has just offered to buy it for me !!!!! Ta Daaaa !.... result..........success......
Cheers peeps.
I'll be around to keep up to speed with the forum in the future (IF I can understand all the jargon and abbreviations)
bye for now.
Mick.
oh, bye the way, the WR1 bit refers to my Subaru Impreza spec edition.
