I have a Sigma DG 500 Super and it is a very good flash when attached to my DS or K10D but does not work wirelessly. I think I will buy a Pentax AF 360-FGZ to use wirelessly and as a commander for the DG 500 Super.

Hi PeteD have you updated the firmware on your K10D to v1.10 ? also has the flash been rechipped for the K10D??

Yes and yes. Fires occasionally but does not sync properly when it does.

I am thinking of getting the 360 at the moment but would like to see what Metz have coming with the   58 AF-1 flash.. I think that most of us agree that Flash is really not the Pentax strong point. I would say that we are a little way off Nikon in that respect. I would like to see some more professional flash models from Pentax and accesories in general.

I think Pentax moves to wireless flash technology is a good sign. Let's see if they will come out with more interesting flash (especially macro flash) in the near future Smiley

Hi Mike,

Are you using them on a K10D?
