I'd be careful with that. There *are* flashes out there with trigger
voltages high enough to fry the circuitry even on cameras with circuitry
as robust as those Pentax makes.
And, I know they make an adapter to allow you to use regular hot-shoe
flashes on that weird Minolta/Sony abomination ... don't know if they
make an adapter for Minolta/Sony flash to a regular hot shoe.
Don't know why anyone would want to, but that's a whole different line
of unreason.

Any hotshoe flash will work on your camera, Pentax or not (there are
some weird Nissin models that use non-standard triggering).
This will work on your camera, manual only.

After reading this a little bit closer, I don't think that this flash
could be used ON a Pentax camera (as I was originally thinking). It is
designed for strobist-style off-camera use. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But this is why when you order a Metz you need to buy one for your
camera brand. This flash *has* no such differentiation (and needs none
if being used as a slave off-camera).

Also, it's available through a supplier I already know is trustworthy. No
worries about the reliability of anyone's eBay feedback.

_Way_ better than adequate. This flash sounds like a manual flash
enthusiast's dream. It has more power range (full - 1/128th in 1/3
stop steps), more flexible inputs, lots of horsepower, great
ergonomics. Can be programmed to ignore pre-sync when slaved with
x-TTL flashes.
But in case anyone hoping for a cheaper Pentax flash is reading:
*manual only*. No Pentax features like wireless or HSS.
At $200, pricier than the Yongnuos, but most likely well worth it.

I got on these guy's email list when buying stuff from them at the PPNC
convention trade show. They sent me a message about a new strobe from
LumoPro.
Looks like it might prove to be an adequate substitute for the legendary
Vivitar 285-HV (which ain't so legendary in its most recent incarnation).
