Im considering getting an af360 and a flash bracket that flips the camera. Where can i get the cord from the camera to the flash? I found a promaster cord from wolfes camera. But id rather a pentax cord if available. Anyone got any advice?

Pentax doesn't make a traditional TTL cable but rather a cooler one that costs more money. Basically you purchase a hotshoe adapter which gives you a sync port and another hotshoe incase you want to mount something else on top, then you buy a 3 meter long straight cable with metal screw in ends, then a hotshoe adapter for an off camera flash. You connect everything and viola you have a very long extension from your camera to any flash. It'll run about $100 if not more while the promaster cable is typically $69.99. I have the promaster cable and the pentax cable sytem and both work great.

So does the promaster work with all the features of the camera and af360? Pttl? High speed?

And if I'm not mistaken (brand-wise) the Promaster is a one-piece unit which simplifies things a bit.
