Why does it "need" pre-flash metering? Digital sensors are not 100% black. They reflect light, this means they can do standard TTL. If the camera manufacturers don't put that feature in it's only because of their marketing strategy to sell more of the latest equipment. Pentax is not known for this, so hopefully they will break the mould. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
