Sunpak 383. Cheap (around $70@ at B&H), good output, three stops auto operation, manually adjustable from full to 1/16 power, swivel/bounce head, AC and HV battery packs available. Standard ISO hotshoe and PC cord connections. The head is the right size to work with nearly all LumiQuest attachments.
I use mine with a ProMaster Pentax-dedicated cable for off-camera use, or in conjunction with a slave that fits the hotshoe and has a lightstand/tripod socket. Finish is cheap but it is durable, auto- flash works fine when I use it, and it's not overly bulky or heavy. I like it so much I'll likely buy another one soon for multiple lighting setups. I also use it with a Paterson E-Flash panel. Godfrey On Sep 22, 2006, at 10:36 AM, Scott Loveless wrote: > I'm in need of a couple of flash guns for off camera use.
