    Help in buying Speedlight.

    I have NikonD5000. Someone please tell me can I buy Vivitar 285HV for my Camera from the below link.

    Amazon.com: Vivitar 285HV High Power Auto Zoom Thyristor Flash + STO-FEN + (4) AA Batteries & Charger + Cleaning Kit for Pentax K-7, K-5, K-R, K20D, K200D, K2000 Digital SLR Cameras: Camera & Photo.

    My Confusion is they have mentioned that it is for "Pentax K-7, K-5, K-R, K20D, K200D, K2000 Digital SLR Cameras" Please Clarify.

    Thanks In Advance.

    I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

    Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

    That flash is not designed for pentax cameras. The 285hv is universal. I'd say the seller just has one listed for each camera brand for people who search for "nikon flash" etc.

    The285hv's are really good flashes.
