Rolf, Every review I have read says P-TTL in the flash options but not TTL. Knowing that Pentax quite often don't list all the features means that it may well work with TTL flashes, but we may not know for a while. As I've gone completely to the AF360FGZ it's not a problem for me - P-TTL gives MUCH better results than TTL - but for someone who has not got the new flashes it may be a concern. There should be no reason why it can't run TTL flashes. Don't listen to those who say that a sensor reflects a different amount of light to film, this just means that they have to recalibrate the system. It should even work more reliably because the reflectivity of the sensor will always be the same while film varies from one type to another.
