Wow, someone selling a Sunpak hammerhead flash unit on Ebay has lifted my description of it in the reviews here Sunpak Auto 4205G Thyristor (Auto 544 in some markets) reviews - Pentax Camera Accessory Review Database and used it, word for word, in theirs - even its downsides! Actually, I don't mind. It is just information as far as I'm concerned.

FWIW, it is a nice hammerhead, I mean the design and also that one on sale. I have several of the later Sunpak hammerheads and prefer this one for its having rotary control dials rather than sliders. Sliders tend to get stiff. I only paid £10 for mine btw, and it was mint.

Since I enjoy doing a bit of justified (in my eyes) stirring, I have sent this to the seller :

'Hi,

May I point out that the Product Description you give has been 'lifted' word-for-word from a review of one particular example of this item, from the Pentax Forum, and should not be taken as descriptive of the item in general, being one person's findings.

A Credit to the original source would have been polite as well.'

I shall wait for a response.

Even at that price the Hand of Saruman is appropriate...

Does it take SD or CF cars (sp intentional)?

I thought an ME 109 was some kind of aeroplane.

Could contact the seller and ask, see what his reaction is. Of course, everything these days is digital, according to the marketing people anyway. We have digital shoulder straps, digital backpacks, digital breakfast cereal .....

So now that we have a digital version of the ME, a digital K1000 can't be far behind. Then, millions of people's dreams will have come true
