Hi Pentaxians I got a Pentax AF330FTZ flash form an auction which had signs of running out batteries. I cleaned the the battery contacts. When I switched the flash for the first time on, everything looked fine. First the display and then the ready lamp light up. Just before I tried a test flash, the flash made a really loud bang and began to smell, but the display still stayed on faultless. After I switched it of an on again, a second kind of small explosion occured inside the flash and the ready lamp stays off now.
I think that is is definitly broken now but I wonder if that thing could have exploded in my hand and injure me severly? I will "kill" it now before it tries again :-) greetings Markus -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
