_Way_ better than adequate. This flash sounds like a manual flash enthusiast's dream. It has more power range (full - 1/128th in 1/3 stop steps), more flexible inputs, lots of horsepower, great ergonomics. Can be programmed to ignore pre-sync when slaved with x-TTL flashes.
But in case anyone hoping for a cheaper Pentax flash is reading: *manual only*. No Pentax features like wireless or HSS. At $200, pricier than the Yongnuos, but most likely well worth it.
