I have also noticed that my Sunpak MZ-440AF just completely overexposes
everything when attached to my *istD. I was beginning to think something
was wrong with it. I've used it with my PZ-1p, and ZX-5n with no
problems, in fact been very happy with it. Shot a couple of weddings
with it in fact... I only have one other TTL flash for Pentax, the
AF220T and that seems to do a slightly better job, but it isn't very
spanky. I want to get the AF360FGZ, but I'll hold off if people think
there's a real firmware issue that needs to be solved. Of course Pentax
has never been speedy at anything, so I wouldn't count on a firmware
upgrade any time soon... Unless we all begin flooding their mailboxes
with complaints about TTL flash exposures...

I think tonight I'll try out my 285HV and see how that does. Does
anybody think that's a bad idea? I know they've had some voltage issues
in the past, particularly with the 283, but mine is a fairly new 285,
and I've used it successfully on my PZ.
