Thanks, Simon, graywolf and Peter. I would hate to leave the AF280T at home... I really like my AF280T, which I recently bought. I have wanted one for years (for my Super A). Now, that I got one, I use it with my MZ-S as well as with my SONY DSC F717. Especially with the SONY it makes a nicely balanced kit :-). I like Pentax flashes. I also have the AF500FTZ, which features outstanding design (awarded, I think) as well as excellent performance.

If using anything else, the figure I've heard as a limit is 6v. In addition, I got this reply about a similar question from the local Pentax rep... "Please ensure that the extra contact pins for TTL etc on the camera hotshoe do not come into contact with the centre +pin on the hot shoe adaptor or you may damage the camera."

What you do need to worry about are flashes that have been made for a long time like a Vivitar 283. Newish ones are OK, my old one has 250V across the sync terminals which can destroy electronic circuits in the camera. Evan my Norman 200B's are less than that at 200V. You can actually measure this with a digital volt meter which has a high enough internal resistance to no fire the flash. BTW, you do not want to use a sync cord with your flash meter on one of these either. -- Jens Bladt wrote: > How do you measure this without triggering the flash? > I often use the AF280T.
