Hi! I'm looking for a flash for a Pentax K-1000 camera to give a friend
for Xmas. Does anyone out there in net.world have any info/feedback on
(a) flashes in general
(b) Soligor, Vivitar, or Sunpack ?
Thanks in advance!!

One piece of advice on flashes: don't spring for rechargable batteries unless you intend to use the flash a whole lot! If you let it sit in a closet for six months without using it, it takes a lot out of the batteries. They are expensive to replace. Far better to use expendables.

I own a Vivitar 3700 dedicated flash unit that I use with my Canon AE-1 and I would like to be able to use it in the dedicated mode in off the camera positions. I could use a PC cord but the operation of the flash wouldn't be in the automatic mode. I would like to know if Vivitar or anyone else makes a dedicated extension cord that I could hook up one end in the camera hot shoe and the other end on the flash unit.I have been looking in some magazine ads and was wondering if Vivitar's DSC-1 or DSC-2 cords are for this type of application.(does DSC stand for Dedicated Sync Cord?) thanks in advance for any responses

Help!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to obtaining information
(schematics, theory,etc) on large, electronic flash units? Any
book titles or other sources would be appreciated.
Thanks
