Go beginner's flash for Pentax K-x

Eagle_Friends · 02-24-2010, 01:51 AM

Hey guys, i was wondering what are some of the best options for a beginner's flash accessories.

nothing over 100 would be nice.

For that kind of cash it's going to be hard to find a flash that has any features, like PTTL, HSS, Rear curtain sync, automatic motor zoom.

But, depending on what your going to be using it for, a manual flash plus radio triggers is all you need....WHAT is it you wanna do again?

I have a Bower SFD926P. It does everything that I need, but it would be nice to have HSS. The ISO has to be set at 400 to use bounce or swivel or it will underexpose. B&H has it for $98.50.

I have the same flash and it works dedicated.
Although I haven't played around with it very much, bounce and swivel doesn't underexpose too much on my experience.
Maybe, our ceiling isn't that elevated.
