Does everything I need it to do. I really like the swival head for more creative lighting.

I use this unit for both on-camera and off-camera applications. I chose this flash over others for off-camera capabilities, and for it's ability to swivel.

I haven't used the flash extensively, but so far I have no major complaints about the product. I chose this flash over the AF-360 FGZ because of the swivel feature, which is a must for bouncing when shooting in vertical and for proper orientation of the flash when using it as a slave unit (I believe there is a photo sensor that must be able to "see" the light from your pop-up flash when triggering from your camera). The manual controls are essential, especially for off-camera use.

I wish this flash came with a tripod-mountable cold-shoe.

I upgraded from the 350. I am really impressed with this flash. The 350 was okay, but this flash is clearly better. I love the new configuration of the batteries, make so much more sense. Now it is heavy, but small price to pay for such a great flash !

I had this flash once before and even though it worked great, I returned it to the store I had purchased it from thinking I could get by with a cheaper off brand. I had regretted that decision ever since. I finally gave in and purchased it again, even at a higher price than before, because it is worth it. This flash does it all and best of all it works great on automatic settings as well. I use it on my Pentax K-10 and have taken wedding photos with it. I am so glad to have this flash back in my camera bag!

This is being used on a K-5 where it performs fairly well. Light output is good. The Pentax flash system (PTTL) could stand a bit of updating, but this flash works as well as anything else out there for it.

Have had this flash for a week now and it's the first flash I have ever owned. Decided to go full boar and get Pentax's most expensive flash. I agree with some other reviewers that the battery cover seems flimsy as does the catchlight panel. My biggest complaint so far is the lack of included accessories. The bag that it came with has no belt loop to attach it to my sling bag and the only other accessory included was the plastic disc for table top wireless use. If I'm paying this much for a wireless flash I would expect Pentax to include a tripod mount accessory and a diffuser at the very least.
But enough complaining. I love this flash. The ability to bounce the light in any direction I choose opens up a whole new dimension to my photography and the wireless feature is very cool.
Given the price, however, I might be more open to exploring the cheaper options if I were to ever buy a different flash.

Ultimate flash to have with Pentax camera. Still learning but can just let it do everything in auto. Swivel head and wireless capabilities make it near perfect. It will be shared with other Pentax cameras in the family. It is heavy to carry on a day out but a fair trade-off for its features.

I bought this product to improve my pictures, especially indoor ones. Still, I need to learn a lot about use and possibilities. It has a lot of options to be tried and I'm sure I will have a fun with it. The design is maybe outdated, but I don't care about this. The changes that has brought to me, in terms of picture quality, are great!

Flash will work with a high speed sync. I can remove the flash from my camera and use it a a remote flash set off by the camera. This is one of the main reasons I bought this flash. I also sync. with my 360 remotely.

It takes a while to learn how to use if to it's full potential

Since changing to digital photography, this is exactly what I needed for flash power.

I love it! It's really easy to use. I haven't read everything but I put it on my camera and started taking pictures!

I'm still getting to know this product but thus far very impressed with it's function and power. I have to take a 1/2 star off for the documentation - seems there are a couple of misdirects in it that contradict camera manual, but nonetheless (and my Pentax camera manual is excellenet, BTW)I'm a fan. I may buy a second one very soon.

I bought this to replace the older Pentax flash that will not work fully with my K-7. This one does work with my K-7. It seems to work well with the Pentax lens and the Sigma AF lens I have as well. I am still learning what it is capable of.
I have used my old TTL extension hotshoe cable with this flash mounted on a flip frame. It seems to work in P-TTL. It would not respond once but I put the flash directly on the camera, powered up and back down, then put it back on the extension and it worked again. The fix lever is plastic and cheap feeling. The zoom motor sounds funny but maybe I am just picky about what an expensive flash should be and feel like...

This is an amazing flash. It took sometime to read through the manual, but with some experimenting, the improvement in the overall quality of my photos is outstanding. This flash is very versatile and works well in general photography as well as a fill flash. I have also used it as a remote flash and found it syncs well with other devices Overall highly satisfied with this flash.
