decent flas unit for Pentax/samsung

[ped]

Hi guys

I have an event I need to take pictures for which will need a decent flash. My camera is a Samsung GX1l which is the same as a Pentax.

Samsung's own flash is quite steep - can anyone point me in the direction of a decent cheapish unit?

Cheers

Metz 36 .. there is also the 48 and 58 if you want to spend more.
Sigma do a few as well but if you are happy to shoot manual there are some older non P-TTL Pentax flashes that can be had very cheap.

Just taken delivery of a Metz 36 and it's great - I am already getting much better flash pictures after reading up on some tutorials before getting the unit.

I look forward to using it properly.

Cheers for the link.
