It has a good guide number (reasonable output) and appears to be quite versatile. It is simple enough for the casual photographer and has some features for more serious photographer. It may be used manually for full flash output or auto-TTL (with and without a pre-flash) for cameras that communicate with the unit to adjust output.

Sorry Pentax can't recommend as there is no bounce capability maybe if they noticed what there competition does they would do better.

Used this on my K100D - this is a decent flash upgrade from onboard. Easy to use - look at the lack of controls on the back of the unit (pro or con depending on your level of expertise). Lacks any type of bounce and swivel functionality, so expect some hard lighting and shadows. Included Sto-Fen OM-PZ8 does *NOT* fit this unit!

This clip-on flash unit is specifically designed to provide superior illumination, boasting a guide number of 65 at ISO 100. It's an ideal companion for your DSLR, particularly for cameras like the Pentax K10D, offering excellent compatibility and performance.
The AF200FG flash unit simplifies your flash photography with its intuitive control dial located on the back panel. This allows you to easily set your desired flash mode and discharge level, making it a breeze even for beginners. Despite its compact size, this flash packs a punch, exceeding expectations in output power as noted by users.
This PENTAX flash unit also features a P-TTL auto flash system, which ensures the correct exposure level by measuring the flash's pre-discharge with the camera's multi-pattern metering system. This guarantees optimal lighting for your shots, enhancing the overall quality of your images.

It's built with a slide-out wide-angle panel that covers an angle of view for a 24mm lens in the 35mm format.
