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
sufcient 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.
