Hi Matt,
Following flashes offer these features and more:
- Philips P36TLS, I have two, I love the compactness, fits in the space of a
small telelens. In USA this flash is probably marketed inder the Nissin
brand name.
-Philips P536CLS-X, I have one, additional it offers 5 auto apertures and

It would be an in production model. In accordance with current DOD directives, COTS

Would they use a camera that is out of production or a new model?

The amazing thing about this recent discussion about European history, circa
19-Pre Pentax, is how different the views are depending on whether you live
in Europe, with first hand knowledge of history, or America, with at best,
second hand knowledge.

I'm using them mainly for background and fill flash.
There's a couple neat little items:
1) Wein Pnut Slave - these fit into the female pc connector on the Vivitar
283. Once a flash goes off around the Pnut slave, it triggers the 283.
2) Hakuma Hot Shoe Adapter - this thing is a standard

I still put my vote in for the 283.
Only difference b/w the 283 and the 285 is the swivel (with the 285) and
the manual zoom head.
The 283 does a 90 to 180 degree tilt.
Don't forget to consider cross system compatibility.
That's the main reason I went with the Vivitar rather than a Pentax
