it work for my Pentax K-5 as well? I don't know what to look for

"work". The flash does not support PTTL, so you'll get a flash
that will require you to operate it (or your camera?) manually
(to enter ISO, length, apperture, shutter speed, etc.). The
documentation writes "Flash control: Automatic at F2.8", so it
is not clear how you adjust it for other appertures or ISO
values.  If you are looking for a "point&shoot"-like operation
of theflash, you'd probably better to stay with PTTL flashes.
The cheapest original flash would be AF200FG: however it lacks
many feature.  I would try finding 2nd hand Sigmas: Sigma EF-530
or 610  You may
