The Pentax Hot Shoe Adapter 2P features a hot shoe on the top and the bottom, and a PC female socket on the side. With this adapter, it is now possible to use flashes that require a PC connection with any camera that doesn't feature one, such as the Pentax PZ and SF series. Unlike so many of these devices, this device will simultaneously send a signal down the PC socket and to the hot shoe upon the top, so you could have a wireless radio slave transmitter atop the hot shoe and a bracket-mounted flash connected to the PC cord and have both fire. Like many Pentax accessories, it is decidedly smaller than you'd expect.

Comments about Pentax Hot Shoe Adapter 2P:
I use this on my Nikon D90. My wife and I photograph weddings together. She uses our Nikon D90 which doesn't have a PC connection. We use this so she can have a shoe mount flash and fire a remote flash simultaneously. My only complaint it that it doesn't have a clamp. It fit very snug into the hot shoe. But a clamp would make me feel more comfortable.

This adapter works great on my Pentax K10D. It's too bad Pentax doesn't include a PC connection on their higher end camera bodies.
