Hi, Has anyone had any experience with this flash. I can't find any info on this forum nor Pentaxforum. What I can find on the internet is that it works with major brand DSLRs in what would seem to be manual flash operation.It is inexpensive (about US$40) and forum comments for other YongNuo models are that they seem to work well enough and are good value for what they offer.Recently bought a K5 and I'm interested in macro photography. I also have the opportunity to purchase a used Pentax AF080C for about 2.5 times the price and I'm wondering which one to go for.Any advice - thanks

I have the. Yongnuo 560 .....building aside is the best flash i have.....and i have metz both pentax ....the yongnuo fall from more than a meter notevena scratch, the metz 58 from 40cm inside the beg and the lamp broke.The battery door is amazing designed compared to other brand. The slave work even outdoor compared to wireless system.So if the ring is comparable is a bargain. Iwill buy one i think.Stryderwrote:Hi, Has anyone had any experience with this flash.

Thanks. Yes the feedback on the 560 is quite good. I think for the cheap price of the MR58, it will be worth getting one.
