1. No, digital flashes will not work properly on analog-control bodies.
2. Because they understand only digital signals and the bodies send analog
signals. The proper question is maybe "Why did Pentax not extend their
compatibility", and this I cannot figure out yet.
3. You will get only one operating mode: manual flash. If you are using
the AF500FTZ, you will be able to regulate the GN by adjusting the flash
output level.
