Pros: | Full PTTL wireless with only one Pentax flash, well made, light | Cons: | users manual only as PDF download | | I have been very happy with this trigger. I get every single PTTL function from my Pentax flash as though it is mounted on your camera. I have three AF360 units, but not having one mounted on the hot shoe reduces quit a bit of weight. The main reason I bought it was to use it for off camera HSS so the flash can be close to the subject to reduce the effect of lost flash power when using HSS. I use my DA* 50-135 very much when shooting portraits during weddings. Since weddings very often start at 2pm, shooting outside during nice sunlight is not an option. Now my attempt to lessen the effect of nasty wash out from the sun just got easier. The second big benefit I get from this unit is that I have better range with it since it is radio triggered. The third big benefit is that I get rid of the chance that me flash does not trigger optically since I am in bright sunlight. I was pleasantly surprised with the build quality. I was shooting off camera in a very dark room and the focus assist beam on my AF360 even kicked in just as if the flash was camera mounted. I took my new toy out of the box, turned everything on in the order as directed in the users manual and it work like a charm without changing a thing.
