Been looking for a Flash for my K-S2 for a while and finally managed to get one. I ended up buying the Godox TT350P and am very happy with it. I was a bit shocked by the size as it's a lot smaller than a normal Speedlight. It's about half the size of my Nikon Flash. I wanted a TTL Flash and after searching for one for the Pentax i kind of stumbled onto this one while actually looking at another Flash. Finding a decent Flash with TTL was a lot harder for the Pentax than for other Camera Brands but i am happy with what i got.

I tried on my 55-300 and the Picture came back way underexposed, it's ok with my 50mm but the 18-50 and the 55-300 just no good indoors, i have a Meike MK910 for my Nikon which works pretty good considering it been sat in a drawer for almost 5 years. I wanted something similar to that with a Screen and TTL. The Godox TT350P That Lubbyman mentions will be ideal i think. Thanks for the Advice it's much appreciated.

Just bought my first Pentax Prime after owning the K-S2 quite a while now. I still suffer from anxiety issues when going outdoors so wanted a Lens that i could actually use indoors. I recently started new Meds for my anxiety issues and really hoping they work, fingers crossed. I am a vaper and usually take picture's of new Vape Mods and Tanks and have noticed a marked difference between the New 50mm and the 18-50mm that i got with the Camera. I don't have to use the onboard Flash which is a bonus. I would like a Speedlight type Flash for the K-S2 but struggling to find a good Pentax one. Think there is a Yongnuo one that it says fit's the major brands like Canon and Nikon and i struggle to think it would work on Pentax even though it says it would. I don't want to buy it for me to only return it. I don't have great amounts of money but would love an half decent Flash. Any recommendations appreciated. Think the Yongnuo is 565 or 568 something like that, think there is a Godox one as well. Sorry for the long post as when i start rambling i can't stop sometimes.

I was talking to an old friend a couple of months ago and we got onto the subject of Camera's, he is pretty old school and uses a Zenith 35mm, i forget the model but anyway i told him i had a Pentax and he nearly had a fit when i told him. He thought the Pentax brand was dead and buried years ago. So a bit of advertising from them would do them the world of good.

Thanks Guys, Just spent half a day trying to find my Tripod and have it now, might try it out in Program mode. I used to use it Manual a couple of years back but that was mainly outdoors and took some beautiful pictures so i know what the Camera is capable of. The past 18 months i have spent in and out of hospital so my photography has taken a back seat for a long time. I actually love this Camera and will be looking into brushing up my skills with it. Like i said in a earlier post i can't get out and about that much so most of my photography will be indoors which i never really did in the past so will need to kind of learn myself again. Thanks again for all your help and advice i really appreciate it.

So a higher shutter speed might be of benefit ?. I don't understand why Auto Mode has chosen such poor settings when in the past most pictures taken in Auto mode have been fine, i better check the mode dial as something doesn't seem right here.

First off i don't know what the exposure was set at, someone said 1/3 but not sure, i do take most of my pictures indoors as i can't go out due to health reasons. The majority of my pictures are still life or not moving and also i don't know why but i think lighting has something to do with it. I have a Tripod and will try it next time. It's mainly Vaping Mods and Tanks i photograph but some of them have small parts and i need to try at least to get decent pictures of them. I know the KS2 is a very capable Camera hence me buying it so it would be nice to show off some of it's capabilities. Thanks for the help so far.

Thanks, I did do a best settings for KS2 which i believe was in Pentax User and tried that but it still happened, i will take another look at the settings but am sure auto settings for iso were on. I couldn't tell you 100% without taking another look.

Like i say the Camera is set to auto, the switch is set to AF as well, could lighting be a factor ?. Saying that it wasn't dark and the photo was taken indoors. The only thing i can think of is Camera shake but thought that would be set with it being full auto.
