Pentax AF540 Flash & the Better Beamer (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone from Hawaii, new user with a question for you.

I got a Pentax AF540 flash for use with my K10D and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with using a flash extender like the "Better Beamer" with this flash? I really want to increase the effective range of my flash so I can get pictures of birds in the understory of the trees we have here. On a recent trip to Hawaii Island I was frustrated by the inability of my flash to give me higher shutter speeds (note: the largest and southern most island is called Hawaii, or the name Hawaii can refer to the whole island chain.)

Hi

Sorry, have no experience with that flashgun myself, you may be better off asking here; http://www.pentaxuser.co.uk/ although we are a UK forum we dont mind "outsiders" in fact we have quite a few members from other countries. I am sure someone there will answer your question within hours of posting.

Thank you. I already ordered it after talking to the manufacturer. They said that the AF540 is actually too big for the largest model of the Better Beamer. However, the FX-2 model can be easily modified at the price of nullifying the warranty. I figured why not. I will try to post a report of my experience with it once I get it figured out.
