That is why I am using the AF400T for my wedding work. Quantum battery and power - even more than the 500FTZ. I do find the 360FGZ useful for daylight fill flash on portraits. Usually it is 1-2 stops lower so not as much power is needed.
But I certainly second the need for a more industrially featured flash unit from Pentax. FWIW, I believe that Sunpak makes the 360FGZ for Pentax. I wouldn't be surprised if they made the flashes for Sigma either. If you find out that the Sunpak can use an external battery, let us know. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, March 16, 2004, 11:55:23 PM, you wrote: mm> Why Pentax never made a 500 FGZ for the MZs, or*istD is completely beyond mm> me. mm> I mean what the hell were they thinking! mm> The 360 is too weak, can't swivel, can't use a power-pack, and has a hot mm> shoe locking system that's made of Swiss cheese. mm> Mine broke the first time I mounted it. mm> If this new Sigma flash had an auxiliary socket to plug a Quantum Turbo Z mm> into it, I'd buy one. mm> Wedding photographers need those features....all of 'em! mm> Max
