PENTAX Hot Shoe Adapter FG

Description:
This adapter attaches to the hot shoe and an F5P flash capble attaches to the top allowing for wired flash.

The adapter is shaped so that the built-in flash can be popped up. This makes contrast control flash with the built-in flash and one external flash possible.

The photo shows a blitz connected for off-camera use with:
- Hot Shoe Adapter FG
- Off-camera Shoe Adapter F
- F5P (short) Extension Cord

Pros: Low profile, solidly built
Cons:

Bought all the Pentax flash accessory connectors several years ago; glad I did, as they don't seem to be available anymore, other than as used.

Pros: Build quality, compatibility.
Cons:

I use it in combination with hot shoe adapter F and F5P extension cord on a bracket to change quickly from portrait to landscape orientation in a breeze. It's made of quality plastic, fits snugly and secure on Pentax gear and allows the use of the built-in flash on my K-5.

Pros: Necessary for flash cords
Cons: Should be included with cords

If you will be using the cords to sync Pentax flashes, this is the shoe accessory to get because you can use the on-camera flash. I use it for flash brackets.

However, why do I need to buy this? It seems like the camera should have a sync port, or the cords should come with an adapter.
