And the 360 does swivel e.g. as wireless you can bounce it wherever yuou like, can´t yu?

Yes. Vertically. Up to 90º upwards and 10º downwards. It can't be turned left or right.

Hi Vitali. Thanks for your thoughts .... Its pitty, you don§t have the k10d instead. Iheard that e.g. wireless doesn¨t work with Sigma ... And the 360 does swivel e.g. as wireless you can bounce it wherever yuou like, can´t yu?

SIGMA EF 500 DG SUPER PA PTTL works pretty good with K100D. And should be with K10D. But people says that Sigma flashguns are less reliable than Pentax. Also this new P-TTL Sigma usually costs a little more than Pentax AF-360FGZ. But Sigma's head can be swiveled in horizontal axis.

AF-540FGZ is the best choice but it's expensive.
