I have decided to bite the bullet after a bit of an experiment with some older flash units. Now what to get, Pentax AF360FGZ looks pretty good but compared to the Sigma 500 Super is a little lacking at pretty close to the same price. I am not considering the 540FGZ as they are double the price and not readily available. The Sigma also has a higher guide number and both tilts and swivels. Any other good moderately priced options out there for Pentax?
Other units I have are;
400FTZ not too bad but very heavy and the battery door has failed (this is why I am looking), does tilt and swivel.
AF240Z, okay but a bit fiddly to get right (only paid about $20 for it so it owes me nothing), does tilt but no swivel.
AF260Sa, good little lightweight unit for close indoor use, no adjustments and it just works, this one I think only cost me about $15 and that was with the wide angle deflector, no tilt or swivel.
Thanks.
