For Sale - Sold: Pentax AFT1 (2 of them) and some mystery flash related part

dgaies · 02-19-2011, 09:22 PM

For sale are (2) Pentax AFT1 Telephoto Flash Adapter (link). They each come in their own case. According to the description in the link, they increases the range covered by the flash by narrowing the beam and fit the AF 200S, AF 200T, and AF 280T flashes. They were part of a larger lot of items I bought and I don't have a need for them. I am asking $5/each + $5 shipping (total)... so basically $10 for one or $15 for both. Payment Pending on one of them.

Also for sale is a something which looks cool but I have no idea what it is or if it might be useful to anyone. There's a picture of it below, so if you know what it is or can make use of it, it's yours for free. If you have a paypal account and can gift me a $1.39 to cover the cost of 1st class shipping ($2.28 for WW), that would be great. If not, and you still really want it and can make use of it, I'll send it to you anyway and pay for the shipping. SOLD

I have no idea but it reads synchro shoe so I guess it is to make the two flashes go at the same time?

Yeah, it says "Synchro Shoe" on the back, so I suspect you're right. I just don't know if it needs a bunch of other parts to work and this just happened to be at the bottom of the camera case. I probably would have just thrown it out but it looked pretty cool so I took a picture of it and posted it in case someone wants it

The second part appears to be an optical slave. If it is working properly, it will trigger a flash connected to the hotshoe when it sees another flash fire.
