Hello.
I start this thread, because I bought a cheap REGULA Variant 740-2MFD flash. He has a five positions switch on back, one of them marked "Pentax". I did not find details or an user manual for this flash, but I want to use it with my Pentax K5.
I understand that Pentax genuine flashes have a triggering voltages up to 8Vcc. I read somewhere in Internet that Pentax digital cameras accepts up to 24V (am I wrong?), that means one camera support and could control, directly, three flashes connected (am I right?)
The REGULA Variant 740-2MFD flash light has a triggering voltage between 13.7-14.2 Vcc on "Pentax" position switch (in fact, these voltages are on all five switch positions) and, in theory, it could be supported by Pentax K5.
Question: it is safe to use this flash with my camera, without destroying it?
Thank you for the answers and advices.
Geo.
