So, just because I work in a specialized camera store doesn’t mean there’s not always something new for me to learn about cameras. I’ve talked in the past about Nikon flashes and Canon flashes, but today’s post is about the flashes from that kind of dark horse company called “Pentax”.

Neat Fact I Just Learned Today: The newer Pentax flashes, like the AF360FGZ and AF540FGZ, can strobe the flash continuously for a second to provide a modeling light so you can check the light and shadows. I’m sure that’s gotta be rough on batteries, but still a very useful feature, especially for someone just starting out in flash lighting (where much of the work is trial and error).
