tripanfal Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 OK, I have decided to go with the K10 over the K20. I just can't justify the extra money at this point. What I need is some advice on the best flash for the K10d. What I'm looking for is the fastest recycle time so a flash and power pack combination would be optimal. I've done a bunch of research but i'm looking for a setup someone is actually using and and feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_sunley Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Best for what usage, studio, macro, sports? Battery or a/c powered? Camera mount? TTL, auto or manually adjustable power output? A studio type pack and flash head or a mono light meets your stated needs. You can get a battery pack for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripanfal Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hmmm.. Sorry. You're right Just looking for a shoe mount flash with a battery pack that will give me a fast recycle time. TTL and P-TTL. Shooting the kids, indoor events, etc... My biggest pet peeve is slow recycle times. I'm shooting a wedding this summer so I need something for that as well. I have plenty of backup gear for it but I'm looking for the best setup for the K10d which will be my primary camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_arena Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I really enjoy using my Pentax 360 FGZ with my k10d. I especially like the built in wireless control. I sometimes hold it in my other hand and aim it in odd directions behind me to get certain bounce. The P-TTL makes it so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 If you want a battery pack, Pentax offers one for the AF-540FGZ but not the AF-360FGZ. I like the AF-540FGZ for the most part but haven't tried the battery pack. I'll also suggest that flash battery selection may have an impact on best recycle performance though I don't have any particular recommendations on that front.

tripanfal Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thanks Andrew, That Pentax pack looks lame, I've seen it before, I'm thinking of a DIY solution. If I do it, I'll post details. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
