From: Larry Colen
By the way, despite my complaints with the 540, I don't mean to imply
that it is impossible to get good photos with it. The problem is
what you get for how much you pay. I often have better luck with
promaster flashes that I paid less to buy, than I've paid to repair
the AF540.
Then there is the case that mine has been in for repair at least
three times. Fortunately the first two times were under warranty, so
I only had to pay for it once. It is absolutely critical that it be
attached tightly to the hot shoe. However, if you over tighten it,
it'll break, and then it won't tighten at all.
I have the both AF540FGZ and the AF330FGZ, but the most satisfactory
Pentax flash I've found to use with the K20D is the AF-200FG.
I can set it for -1 and consistently get one stop under fill. If I take
a little too long to set up a shot, it doesn't turn itself off and lose
the settings.
My workhorse is the Vivitar 285HV.
