It does. Why wouldn't it. Through The Lens metering. A very fine flash. I prefere Pentax and Metz flashes over any other brand. Because of built quality and design. They will outlast anything, even the camera.
It is annoying that Pentax didn't make flashes quite as compatibe as lenses or as versatile as Metz flashes/adapters. Best for PZ-1 is the AF500FTZ, I believe. MZ-S: AF360FGZ ?? MZ 5n, don't know... The only "problem with the AF280T is that it can't shoot in opposite direction of the lens (which I use when shooting downwards, pointing the camera at the cieling above and behind the camera). I have to use a Metz flash for that.

Here's one example taken with the MZ-S, FA*24/2.0 and AF280T with the flash set to about 1.5 stops below ambient: http://www.robertstech.com/graphics/pages/7d303103.htm -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
