APRANET Tumax DSL-288 AF Pentax P-TTL Flash Speedlite with 28m Guide Number, 28-85mm Zoom, Optical Slave

Struggling with harsh, unflattering light from your camera's built-in flash? The APRANET Tumax DSL-288 AF Pentax is a powerful, versatile flash unit that solves the problem of poor lighting in photography. With a guide number of 28 (ISO 100, 50mm), it delivers ample illumination for indoor and outdoor shooting. Compatible with Pentax DSLR cameras via P-TTL, it offers automatic exposure for consistent results, plus full manual control for creative freedom. The flash head zooms from 28mm to 85mm to match your lens, and rotates 270° horizontally and tilts from -7° to 90° for bounce flash techniques. Wireless optical slave modes (S1, S2) allow off-camera triggering, and the built-in AF assist beam ensures accurate focusing in low light. Powered by 4 AA batteries, it recycles in as little as 0.5 seconds, so you never miss a shot.

Tips

To get the most out of your flash, use bounce flash by tilting the head towards a ceiling or wall to soften shadows. For off-camera lighting, set the flash to S1 or S2 slave mode and trigger it with your camera's built-in flash or another flash unit. Always carry spare AA batteries, as flash usage can drain them quickly.
