Alan,
Analogue Pentax flashes feed back information to the camera on what it
recommends as the correct aperture for program shooting. I don't know
if the Metz doe this or not, but I suspect it doesn't and the program
line takes over and it goes into slow sync mode. Or maybe the Metz is
set to shoot wide open (f2 being what the Z1p displays for wide open on
the 43 Limited).
