ALWAYS THE RIGHT LIGHT: PENTAX FLASH UNITS.
Light is the element of seeing and the essence of photography.
If the natural lighting and the camera’s integrated ash are not
sufcient then take one of the ashguns from the PENTAX
accessories range: they accurately supply the appropriate
amount of light for varying conditions and with many added
functions. For the PENTAX K10D we recommend the
AF-360 FGZ as a universally applicable ash apparatus,
or the top-of-the-line AF-540 FGZ that features a high
guide number, bounce/swivel ash head and fast
continuous ash shooting.
