Many thanks to all the posters here - I'm convinced and will be ordering a Metz 48! Thanks for all the advice. This is my first posting and it's been great to be able to ask people who are using Pentax. Thanks Pentax User!!!

Wow, quite an endorsement already. Any more for Metz or are there any other contenders?

Hi, I have a Pentax K100D and am wanting to buy a flashgun to go with it. I don't want to spend lots of money but I want a good alround workhorse. I've been looking at the Pentax AF 360FGZ TTL Flashgun and the SIGMA 530 DG SUPER. Any tips or advice. I particularly noticed that the Pentax flash doesn't swivel which presumably can make bounce flash harder in portrait. Are ther any others I should look at <£170

I am still quite a beginner so any advice before purchase would be really helpful.
