You can use pretty much any modern auto-thyristor flash, if you set the aperture properly you'll get images pretty much as well exposed as you would with a fancy P-TTL capable flash. The command interface on a late model AF280T is even partially supported so in the auto modes it will set the proper f stop and shutter speed.

The originals, not by me, were done with her mother's hair still in curlers.
My assigned task is to reshoot them.
But I really do want something better than the pop-up flash on the K5.
Lens will be either the F50/1.7 or the FA28/2.8, though the FA28-105 may be
used as it's respectable.
Anyway. I've not gotten a digital flash before.  What's a recommended unit
suitable for the K5 that will give quality results.
