So which flashgun with bounce will be smallest and cheapest ?:) I have SEF15A but direct flashlight kills photos

The SEF20A. It is very compact to carry because its mounting foot rotates down inside the flash body. It comes with a carry pouch and fits easily in a shirt pocket.

By the way, third party flashes advertised as being compatible with Pentax and Samsung are not suitable for NX. They are compatible with the Samsung GX series dslrs that were Pentax clones but won't work in TTL mode with NX because the pin layout of the hotshoe is different. They can be used in manual mode but it is not worth the effort.

Believe me, the SEF20A is so easy. Turn it on, tilt to your preferred bounce angle and shoot. Provided you are within flash range, you should get perfect exposure every time. The SEF42A is much more powerful but I couldn't justify the extra cost.
