Used flashes & triggers for Pentax
Here you'll find used speedlites, flashes and wireless triggers that work with your Pentax camera. This is the corner for anyone who wants to give their K-mount body extra light: on-camera flashes with P-TTL for fill flash and events, compact units for on the go and transmitters to control external flashes wirelessly. Alongside original Pentax flashes, you'll also find system flashes from Metz, Sigma and Godox made specifically for the Pentax connection.
Popular models at the moment are the Pentax AF360 FGZ Flash as a compact all-rounder and the Pentax AF540FGZ as a powerful studio companion for those who need more output. If you're looking for something for macro, the Sigma EM-140 DG ring flash turns up now and then. Also take a look at the broader speedlites and remotes category if you're unsure which type suits the way you shoot.

A used flash is almost always a smart win: the technology ages slowly and a used speedlite will keep going for years. What matters is that the flash really has the Pentax connection and supports P-TTL, because then the automatic exposure works neatly with your body. Original Pentax flashes such as the Pentax AF360 FGZ Flash and Pentax AF540FGZ are the safest in terms of compatibility.
What should you look out for?
Test whether the flash head swivels and tilts freely, whether the flash tube is clean and clear (a yellowed tube can point to heavy use) and whether the recycle time is still fast enough. Check the contacts on the foot and see whether the battery compartment is free of corrosion. Popular models at the moment are the Pentax AF360 FGZ Flash as a reliable on-camera flash and the Pentax AF540FGZ as a more powerful option, and they generally work without any problems with your Pentax body.
Who is it for?
If you work a lot with people, events or weddings, a powerful system flash lifts your results straight away. If you want to play more creatively with light, wireless triggers are the logical step. Macro photographers look at ring flashes. Everything you find here is professionally inspected and comes with a minimum of 12 months' warranty, and you have a 14-day return period — so you can take your time trying out whether the flash suits your setup.
