With my K10D I use both the Pentax FGZ-360AF and the Sigma DG 500 Super,
if
you only want one flash then get the Sigma or the new 530 version. If you
really want cheap and cheerful then go for one of the older Pentax units
like the AF240Z, this one has swivel but for extra cheap the non
swivelling
AF260Sa can be had for a few dollars and works surprisingly well. I also
use
an Incablitz 260AZ, that works fine as well. I have all the above flashes
(and others) but really the 360 or 500 would be best.
