Hi all
Does any one have any idea why I can't find Sun Pak's own web site.
Are they listed under a different name? Of course I can find Sun Pak @
B&H; Adorama; ect. But the various retailers often do not carry all of
a Mfg's products.
Thanks for any help,
jay

Have you tried this?:

http://www.sunpak.jp/english/products/pz42x/index.html

and in that I found a page for an alleged US distributor, but I couldn't
find Sunpak within it:

It used to be Tocad. The sunpak.jp website lists:
USA, Canada:

TOCAD AMERICA INC.
53 Green Pond Road Rockaway, NJ 07866
TEL: (1)973-627-9600 FAX: (1)973-664-2438
E-mail: tocadamerica@msn.com
http://www.sunpak.com/

There is something at:
http://www.sunpak.com/sunpak/flashunits.html
I don't know whether it is very vigorous anymore, but they used to be
helpful.

Not that *I* have ever made a mistake like that ...

Usually when I look for information such as what you're seeking, I first
try to go directly to the website by typing "[name of company].com" into
the browser address field and seeing what pops up. Half the time I score
a direct hit that way. (As opposed to using Google and having to scroll
through pages of results.)

Yeah, well, I once did that when I was looking for the site for Obsession
Telescopes.... Oh, it was a "direct hit," all right, but not for a site
about telescopes! Oops...

In some circles, this was a famous example of what I think you have in
mind ...
