Highly regarded for its sophisticated features, it offers full TTL (Through-The-Lens) auto exposure when paired with classic bodies like the Pentax LX, Super Program, or modern compatible systems. Unlike basic vintage flashes, the AF280T features a highly flexible tilt and swivel head, allowing photographers to bounce light off ceilings or walls for soft, natural, and flattering illumination. With its dual automatic auto-aperture settings and full manual control options, this robust flash remains an incredibly reliable and versatile tool for creative lighting setups.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAdvanced TTL Auto Flash:\u003c\/b\u003e Delivers effortless, perfectly calculated exposures by measuring light directly through the camera lens on supported classic Pentax bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFull Tilt and Swivel Freedom:\u003c\/b\u003e The flash head rotates and tilts upwards, allowing you to easily bounce light to eliminate harsh shadows and harsh red-eye effects in portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTwo Auto-Aperture Modes:\u003c\/b\u003e Features built-in sensor-driven automatic flash modes that control output independently, providing excellent flexibility on non-TTL camera bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRear Control Panel with Exposure Calculator:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with a comprehensive mechanical dial and indicator lights on the reverse side to make manual distance and aperture calculations completely straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBody:\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition.

The ability to tilt the head up and swivel it sideways lets you bounce the flash off a nearby wall, completely transforming a harsh photo into beautiful, diffused studio-like portraits. It balances beautifully on bodies like the Pentax K1000, ME Super, or LX, and remains a wonderfully capable lighting modifier.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,0,0\"\u003ePentax AF280T electronic flash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"11,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePlease note: Single-use batteries are not provided.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCategory:\u003c\/b\u003e Lighting \u0026amp; Audio ▸ Flash \/ Speedlight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGuide Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 28 (meters at ISO 100)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFlash Modes:\u003c\/b\u003e TTL Auto, Auto (Two settings), Manual (Full and 1\/16 low power)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBounce Capability:\u003c\/b\u003e Tilts upward up to 90°, downwards to -15° for close-up macro work\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSwivel Capability:\u003c\/b\u003e Rotates horizontally up to 180° left and 90° right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCoverage:\u003c\/b\u003e Covers a 28mm wide-angle lens perspective on standard 35mm format\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/b\u003e 4x AA standard batteries (Alkaline or NiMH rechargeable)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"pentax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56064582779220,"sku":"B27W5673MR","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/IMG_7960_30576c0c-9e45-4cab-a95b-29fe9a7c870c.jpg?v=1781014213","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/pentax-af280t","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
