Pentax F5PL 9.5' Extension Cord for Off-Camera TTL Flash with Pentax Cameras - Requires Off Camera Shoe Adapter F & Either Hot Shoe Adapter F or Hot Shoe Adapter Fg (Not Included)
The Pentax F5PL Extension Cord provides Off-Camera TTL Flash capability for Pentax cameras when used in combination with
- Off Camera Shoe Adapter F (#31022)
- and
- Hot Shoe Adapter F(#31046) OR Hot Shoe Adapter Fg(#31045).
The difference between Hot Shoe Adapter F & Hot Shoe Adapter FG is that the "FG" version allows the use of a camera's pop-up flash while the "F" version obstructs use of pop-up flashes but has a flash shoe of its own.
Note! The shorter F5P (#37347) can be substituted for the F5PL Extension Cord in this combination if shorter distance is desired between the camera & the flash, with less clutter

Comments about F5PL 9.5' Extension Cord for Off-Camera TTL Flash with Pentax Cameras:
I use it for off camera flash work at weddings and for portraiture. I also use it with other off camera flashes that are controlled by radio and they both work well together.
I have given it 4 stars only because I would have preferred it to be longer!

Comments about F5PL 9.5' Extension Cord for Off-Camera TTL Flash with Pentax Cameras:
I use the cord with the Pentax Hot Shoe Adapter F. Everything works fine. I use it with the K10D and the 540FGZ flash.
I actually like it better than using wireless flash on the K10D. Wireless might be cool but I cannot even remember how to set up the wireless flash function on the K10D or the 540 flash.(!?!) I can't keep on referring to the flash manual to see how to do wireless when I have someone to shoot. :-/
The F5P Extension Cord allows ALL of the normal flash modes: P-TTL, Auto, and Manual. I like using the F5P extension cord with the 540 on a light stand in a bounce back reflective umbrella (white or silver) with the flash sensor facing the subject's area and the head swiveled backwards. That way, I can still use Auto or P-ttl just fine and can skip using a handheld flash meter when I want. Very simple setup.
The only thing about it is that I wish the cord were longer. I thought 9.5ft for me would be long enough, and it is long... but I actually think I want twice as much length. Great product! :-D

Comments about F5PL 9.5' Extension Cord for Off-Camera TTL Flash with Pentax Cameras:
each of the cable ends has a push connector that is secured to the flash by screwing in the metal ring.
i hooked up two pentax af-540fgz flashes, one that was mounted on top of a k10d, and both flashes acted in perfect sync, as one flash, even at 1/2500th of a second.
since the 540fgz already has the proper connector on the side of the flash, there was no need to purchase any additional hardware.
