I use the Pentax AF240FT similarly on bodies that don't have built in flash or ones I want a little more power. Also has a nice 1/4 power setting for fill-flash. But for macro I acquired a Phoenix RL-59P ring flash made for Pentax that works pretty well.

What I'm noticing is that as cameras and lenses gain better dynamic range and low-light capability, and more of them provide image stabilisation (in-lens and/or in-body), I need on or near camera flash less and less year-by-year.
