Originally posted by blockamon I just ordered two Sumpak 622 Super Kits from B&H to use for off-camera flash with the K-5.

Thanks.
The K-5 has a dedicated PC sync port that can take a lot, I don't know about the hot shoe.
I have that flash to (the one with the independent battery pack), Sunpack has a good bare bulb, and trigger it with the K-5' PC sync, never had a problem!
