Hi Frantisek, The SCA373 is is functionally equivalent to the SCA372 flash shoe adaptor however it plug into the side of the (rare as hens teeth and just as expensive ) G15 grip via a dual in line Metz 10 pin plug. It terminates in the standard Pentax 4P socket so then you can connect straight to any other 4P devices. I wouldn't advise going in this direction unless you have a Metz flash which will accept the SCA373 directly. I too ws considering the G15 option however I believe that you'd be much better off simply sticking with the SCA372 and Pentax Flash Grip. You could also buy into the 5P flash interconnect system and hard wiring a Sync Cord A to a Flash Shoe 5P or splicing it to a 5P cable. I haven't done it yet myself however its on the agenda :-) I have pictures however I can't seem to successfully send to your account.
