Darn... I didn't know there was different AF280T versions, when purchased mine (ebay). Perhaps I should try to get a later version. It's is anoying that I can't hit the cieling, while shooting downwards (to catch my grandaughter in a chair, bed or whatever). I used to use the AF280T on my SONY F717 - and I will probably use it on my *ist D (which is in the mail, says FOTO-PORST, Berlin). I have a Metz 32 Z-2 that can do this, but I prefer to use the Pentax. Jens

Later versions work exactly that way, I have an earlier version that only rotates 90� left or right for 180� of motion.
