Where can i buy a flash for a Pentax MV camera??


I need a flash for my Pentax and i can't find one anywhere.

A Vivitar 283 or 285 should work just fine with your camera. You should find several on eBay. Just be sure to ask questions:

Is the battery compartment clean and free of corrosion or battery leakage?

Is the "foot" (the part that slides into the "shoe" on top of your camera) free of cracks? (The "foot" was a weak point on the 283.)

Does the unit power-up as it should? (If a Seller tells you they don't have batteries for it - it takes 4 AA - then avoid them. If they are too cheap or incompetent to install 4 batteries why would you trust them?)

Does it have the Off-Camera Sensor and the PC cord? (You'll need the Off-Camera Sensor if you buy a flash bracket.)

Does the original Owner's Manual come with it?

I recently used a Vivitar 283 I purchased new in Feb 1976 - 32 years ago!
