Sunpak still makes them... It's an IR head for the Sunpak 622 Super Pro...
B&H has them for $45 and the Super Pro is $300, $340 with a zoom head...
You can also get a dedicated Autofocus TTL module for most cameras, for an
additional $75 (assuming that the 622 does not come with the module as part of
the price)..
As for the flash, the 622 Super Pro with the Zoom Head is an Amazing unit.. It's
got a guide number of 200 (ft) at ISO 100... The IR head has a guide number of 25
or 50, can't remember which... The heads snap on and off the unit easily and I
never had any problems with mine... Unfortunately it ended up lost in a move from
Arizona to the NY area.. C'est la guerre...
