Here's my best guess. Since Pentax made the Hot Shoe Grip as the only way to do off camera flash with the 280T, try this.
Use the Hot Shoe Adapter F (31022) to a F5P Cord (37347) to a Off Camera Hot Shoe Adapter F (31046). It has 5 wire hook up but since the 280T only has 4, the 5th wire will not be used or get in the way. Put the Hot Shoe Adapter F on the camera, the attach the F5P cord to to both adapters. Now put the 280t on the Off Camera Shoe Adapter F. Nice thing about the Off Camera Hot Shoe Adapter F is that the bottom side of it is a tripod mount. How's this. It does work.

I'd like to buy the correct equipment to do off camera flash witht eh above cameras, and I prsume I can use the same equipment on both to do it.. however, I can't for the life of me figure out WHAT I need. OK, so I've got the camera(s) and flash gun, let's pretend I've got a generic bracket with a shoe on it (cold shoe or whatever the generic holder is called). I need a 4P cord, or do I need a 5P cord? I presume 4P, and the 5 series are for the FTZ series? What do I use to take it from the other end of the sync cord to mate with the flash itself? So very confused. -- http://www.infotainment.org <-> more fun than a poke in your eye. http://www.eighteenpercent.com <-> photography and portfolio.
