...I ordered and got an Sigma EM-140.
Have now used it some days on my K1 firm. 1.41. Lens DFA 100/2.8 WR. Also with PTTL -and if wanted autofocus with two piggybacked (hard to get) Kenko Pz-AF Uniplus Tube 25.
That is a total 50mm of extra extension and are able to autofocus as well - if wanted . Wow - what pics - just point and shoot.
By reading this thread I had worries before getting the unit and had thoughts of cancelling the order - but decided to at least test it.
However - all in all it worked as just out of the box as described.
Simply set the camera to AV-mode and use either manual focus or auto focus as I do with my other flashes.
Setup works with PTTL all the time.
As with other flashes in PTTL (as PTTL is often a bit tricky giving some over or under exposures) I often have to pre calibrate exposure by compensate a bit by changing the EV-value.
In a German forum "Pentaxians.de" - they have the same experience as I do.
Frage zum Makroblitz Sigma EM-140 DG ? Pentaxians
It seems that the OP there had heard rumours of this very thread and had worries as well.
However - that German thread shows that it should work all the time like as for me on the K1.
I think it's a great flash for a rather low price. Now I can recommend it.
The error mentioned here in this very thread must have another explanation. May it be settings, dirty contacts or something else?
(For those not knowing the German-language I hope Google translate might help.)
