Failing that, another thing that might be worth considering is if you buy another AF-360GZ which breaks somewhere else, you would be able to use the other one for spares?
If you can fix it for $40 that sounds the best bet though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Stenquist Sent: 29 April 2008 14:23 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Flash for K10D If it's the same as the 540, you can purchase the hot-shoe module for about $40. It attaches with four screws, and the electrical connections are by means of a single plug. Replacement is a five minute job.
