Vivitar 840AF (for Pentax) $80 and looks to be in like new condition.

Thanks.

That flash is not listed on this page so I cannot check the trigger voltage. Unless you're sure it's less than 24V do not get it. Also, be aware that even then it will work only in manual mode, since it is not P-TTL, which the K100D requires for automatic metering. I am a newbie but went through this same process recently looking for a manual controlled flash for off-camera use.
