Just about to put the new Shanny SN600FGZ on camera P-TTL flash gun through its paces.. And at first impression its a well contructed unit. First thing to say is. That it is not a cheap
Chinese Pentax AF540FGZ copy or replacement. But a stand alone unit.
Has P-TTL, HSS, 3 Slave modes, Front curtain sync and rear curtain sync.

I hope to complete a full review when I get the chance.. But If anyone has any comments I'll try to answer them...Comment Image

Many thanks to Shanny for the early adopter price and a very efficient and speedy delivery.

Hi Stuart

I've used mine for portraits, wildlife and fast action ( RAF Jets in the Mach Loop, BIF etc ) not had any real issues with focus tracking or slow focus, use the centre point 90% of the time.
That comforting to hear...

Im too considering the K1.. Can the owners and users in their comments. Please tell us the type of photography they are using it for ? I.E. Landscapes (Which I believe its the bes around) Portraits, Sports.
Has anyone experienced the so called pitfalls of focus tracking and slow to focus ?

Shanny are using Aliexpress to market in the UK so far. As they are currently looking for a distributor. Ive just arranged to have one shipped over direct. So I'll Let you all know how I get on with it. The trigger is the awkward one. As its my understanding that the Pentax system turns off the hotshoe when speeds above the sync speed are selected.

Just for info...

Maybe they didnt test the K1 ?

Sounds great....

The 2x shanny SN910EX-RF & SN910TX that I bought for the D500 are currently being boxed up for return as the transmitter and it's replacement refuses to link with the flashguns...

So... great idea but only if it works!
Lets hope the Pentax version is more successful !!

The Draw is that they are fully Pentax compatible. Have High-speed sync, first-curtain sync, rear sync. I have spoken to their sales manager. (Facebook is a wonderful thing) And next year they plan to release a P-TTL trigger. Thus enabling off camera use.
