Vivitar 285 can still be found second hand, it is nearly as old as the hills, is powerful, reliable and very controllable. BUT. make sure you get one with low trigger voltage otherwise you will fry your camera electronics.

Thanks for the tip Does it work with P-TTL on K-30?

I had one years ago and you have to set the flash manually plus your camera has to be set manually also. You set your aperture, shutter speed and ISO on your camera. The settings on the flash are simple to set once you learn. It's a big flash.
