Sunpak is one of the top independent flash brands, and this is an excellent flash unit for Pentax AF SLR cameras plus the *ist D, DS and DS2 digital, plus the Samsung GX-1S (see below), but not other DSLR models. It has a bounce and zoom head, AF illuminator, and provides fully automatic dedicated TTL flash control. It's in good condition and comes with batteries.

Wide range zoom flash head with 28mm and 35mm wide angle, 50mm standard and 85mm (and longer) telephoto positions, to give extra coverage for wide angle lenses, and extra range with telephotos. The flash head tilts up to 90 degrees for bounce flash, which gives much softer, more natural lighting than direct flash.

The guide number is 30m (100 feet) with ISO 100 film at the 50mm zoom setting (less at wide angle, more at telephoto). Theoretical maximum range of up to 21.5m (70 feet) with 50mm f/1.4 lens and ISO 100, and even more with higher ISOs. As with all flashguns, actual range will depend on the conditions. ISO settings of 200 or 400 are recommended with suitable digital cameras.

TTL (Through The Lens) flash control system for extremely accurate exposures, compensating automatically for bounce flash, filters, extension tubes/bellows and other factors. Works automatically in all exposure modes, including Program. Comprehensive scales on the rear of the flash include film speeds from ISO 25 to 800, apertures from f/1.4 to f/22 and distances from 1.3 to 20m (4.3 to 68 feet). Ready light, test button and auto check light provided.

This Sunpak 888 AFZ flashgun is compact and lightweight at only around 110mm (under 5 inches) tall on the camera, and 200g without batteries. It takes 4x standard AA batteries (supplied), and alkaline types are recommended.

An excellent flash unit for Pentax AF and selected digital camera users!

Condition: Excellent++ (8/10)
The flash is in fully working order, the controls work positively and dedicated features work properly on suitable cameras. Cosmetically it's in good condition with no cracks, splits or deep scratches, but just the usual signs of use, including some surface scratches and scrapes here and there. A small piece of plastic trim is broken off under the power switch, but this doesn't affect its use. The battery contacts are clean with no signs of corrosion.

Overall, it's in good shape!
