This is one of two that Pentax offers. It clears the built in flash, allowing it to be used at the same time as an external flash. Of course, it can be used with the built in flash in the down position.[...]
Good accessory.
Using this with my Pentax K20d and AF540FGZ flash I can use the flash AND the built in popup camera firing both at the same time to give me better distance coverage with a smaller F stop also
I use these Pentax flash connecting accessories when shooting outdoors in bright light and many other applications. I love the versatility of the system and the fact that the on camera flash can be used in conjunction with off camera flash, and still retain full auto capabilities. It's especially useful when the camera is in manual exposure, and then the flash is used on P-TTL (or TTL on older models) to provide fill in high contrast situations.
