Digital camera reviews of Pentax AF540FGZ Flash for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras (Includes Case)
Digital camera Review: A lot of functionality in a camera mounted flash . . . but
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned this unit since March 07 and have used it sparingly. The performance to date is as advertised and impressive for a camera mounted flash unit. However, the mounting arrangement incorporates a metal spring loaded 'lock pin' which fits into a receptor hole in the camera hot-shoe. The metal pin is pushed into the flash base by a cam on the tightening ring acting on a very small diameter plastic pin. If this plastic plunger pin breaks off, and it did, the flash unit stays locked to the camera hot-shoe. A very flimsy arrangement that can cause a lot of grief, inconvenience and possible hot-shoe damage. Disappointing Pentax.
