Hi Ecke, I use Pentax wireless controlled from the camera flash in almost every situation.
The one exception (which is one I encounter all the time unfortunately) is where you are shooting towards or through a reflective surface - in which case the on camera flash is reflected back to you. In that case I use the Pentax off camera flash cables and connectors. You can use one off camera flash to control the others in a multi flash set up, but cabling them all back to the camera stops the flash ready light from coming on until all the flashes are recharged. The Sigma flashes have an interesting wireless feature in that they pulse the AF assist to show they are charged and ready to go. this may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the situation. Sigma flashes have a bad reputation from an early implementation of Pentax Wireless, but at present they work with all the current cameras (no guarantees for future cameras however). Hope this helps.
