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

Sigma EF-610 DG Super

Sigma EF 530 DG Super

Metz 44 AF-1

I’ve been reading on internet about the issues with Sigma flashes. It seems I should avoid Sigma because they cannot be updated by users, so If I buy a better Pentax DSLR in future, it is possible that Sigma flash wouldn’t work.

On the other hand, Metz can be updated by users, so no matter how old the flash unit is (released with P-TTL for DSLRS), it can be updated for future Pentax cameras.

Please correct if I am wrong😊
