Re: Flash for Pentax K-30?

Hi,

Many thanks. Ok, I will search for flashes. I was just a bit confused because it seems some non OEM flashes don't work with some Pantax cameras (all functions including P-TTL) .

Here, in Norway, I found these flashes for sale:

Sigma EF-610 DG Super

Sigma EF 530 DG Super

Metz 44 AF-1

So, not sure about which of these (if any) will work on my K-30?

Regarding foild, you are absolutely correct My primary use is taking pictures of my child. So, a big setup isn't suitable. Just one powerful flash bounced off ceiling, and a 50mm 1.4 or 1.8 AF lens is pretty much all I use For videos, I use my Samsung NX camera with 18-200 lens because it has negligible focusing sound, and has optical stabilization.

Thanks for your input

Massao
