hello to all pentaxians!!!

this is my first post but have been monitoring the thread for quite sometime now.
anyway, i have just acquired a pre-owned Pentax K10D and am thinking of getting a flash unit. can you please suggest a brand (if other than the pentax models) and where i can buy. i've looked around hidalgo last week and saw a pentax flash unit (i'm not sure of the model thou), quoted price is 10K. i'm hinking of getting a flash unit lower than 10K but if you guys say the pentax model is ok, i might be able to come up with the 10K. :-)

other questions will be posted later, if and when i come up with other questions.

Hey Dennis,

For 10K you have the AF360FGZ. The only quirk with the 360 is that it doesn't have a swiveling head, though you can use wireless. There's the Sigma 530 DG ST around the same price, it's more powerful, has a swiveling but there's no guarantee it'll work with the K10D if there is a new firmware upgrade again. :)

By the way, try to avoid using tagalog without an english translation. :)
