This flash works great on my Pentax K-X DSLR. All the features work fine on it -- TTL, power zoom, even focus-assist light. Although it does not take advantage of the K-X's built-in wireless trigger, it does work very well as a slave flash. Still running on the same set of AA NiMH batteries after a week of frequent use (testing). The built-in diffuser & bounce card are also a nice and useful feature.

Good deal for powerful entry-level
Haven't busted it out for serious yet, but it's not too heavy and gives me a better flash than the on-camera flash. Usin' it with a Pentax K-x. No complaints so far.

Comments about Bower SFD926P Digital Shoe Mount Flash for Pentax/Samsung SLR:
So far I am impressed with how much you get for so little. But with that said you still get what you pay for.
For instance after just three days the zoom head jammed and the flash no longer functioned. Although through frustration I found that if you smack the flash on the top or the back of the flash head it unjams.
Other than this issue I have been very pleased with this flash. The leading curtain sync, trailing curtain sync, slave mode and AF assist light all work like they should and I love the built in bounce card and diffuser.

Great first flash! I've had it for a week. I never used my in-built flash, but this thing gives huge flexibility and works brilliantly. No real drawbacks considering the price.

Comments about Bower SFD926P Digital Shoe Mount Flash for Pentax/Samsung SLR:
I have only had this flash for a few weeks but it seems to work well. It is a budget flash unit, but it is much better than a lot of the other ones out there. I have had no problems with it at all, and it works as advertised. Is cycles faster than my factory flash and gets more flashes per battery change too. Overall I am happy with it.

Comments about Bower SFD926P Digital Shoe Mount Flash for Pentax/Samsung SLR:
I bought this flash on a tight budget to get through a photo shoot.Overall the flash worked very well.The synch between flash and camera was very good even in very low light.Cycling time was about 6 sec. with fresh batteries,but dropped considerably as they became weaker.I thought the battery compatment door was very flemsy. I had to be careful for fear that it might break. As with most flash it began to shut down after about 150-200 images from heat.Once the flash cooled down it was fine.

Tilt and swivel, diffuser, zoom... Everything you need in a good flash! Sure, it's not suitable for a professional intense use, but it's all 95% people needs at a fraction of the price.

I wanted a flash unit that I could use for portraits and also when the on camera flash just isn't the right thing for the job. I'm quite pleased with this flash unit.

Excellent features for the price. The flash does a great job. I especially like the built in difusser which nearly eliminates the need to cary an extra difusser and wide angle attachment.

Comments about Bower SFD926P Digital Shoe Mount Flash for Pentax/Samsung SLR:
I did a lot of research on finding a flash for the Pentax K20d. This flash kept popping up so I decided to purchase this one instead of the Pentax brands. Wow, I am so glad I did. This flash is perfect for hobbyist, semi-pros and professionals. Do not hesitate to buy this flash from BH.

Comments about Bower SFD926P Digital Shoe Mount Flash for Pentax/Samsung SLR:
The flash unit was priced about $50 to $100 cheaper than the brand names (Pentax or Vivitar) and had more features than the lowest cost brand name flash units. For the price, this unit came with vertical tilt flash and a 270 degree swivel head. This unit even has zoom flash which is not available in other flash models in the same price range. If you do not mind unknown brand names, this flash unit is definitely worth the money.
