Nice kid pic. No AC adapter for the Pentax flash that I’m aware of. There is a battery pack power unit that uses 8 C cells, but I’ve found that it doesn’t speed up recycling by a large amount. The best option for you might be a set of 110 powered moonlights. You can get a pair with stands and umbrellas for less than $1000, and they’ll recycle almost immediately at partial power which is all you’ll need. > On Dec 7, 2014, at 5:59 PM, Christine Nielsen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello & Happy Holiday to one & all.... > > I'm sorry it's been a while since I've been around... life has gotten > busy and photographic inspiration has been scarce, it seems.
