Pentax AF160FC

New auto macro flash designed for use with Pentax digital SLR cameras.

Press Release:

Pentax U.K. is pleased to announce the launch of the Pentax AF160FC dedicated auto macro flash. This new accessory flash unit utilises the automatic exposure-control system of Pentax digital SLR cameras and has been specifically designed for advanced close-up shots.
 
Main Features:

1. Uniform lighting on the subject to minimise unwanted shadows, making it ideal for close-up shots;
2. P-TTL auto flash system to consistently ensure correct exposure levels, by measuring the flash’s pre-discharge with the camera’s image sensors and assessing the subject’s lighting condition with the camera’s multi-pattern metering system;
3. Maximum guide number of 16 (at ISO 100/m);
4. User-friendly operation with a single control dial on the back panel to simplify flash-mode changes and discharge-level adjustments;
5. Advanced flash applications, including contrast-control auto flash and independent switching between two flash bulbs.

Has anyone got any more info regarding a release date for this unit? Have been looking for a Pentax-compatible ring flash for ages.

No UK sites seem to be stocking the units yet (although a couple are willing to take a £20 deposit).
