The 500FTZ has a slave mode, though it's not TTL-controlled, IIRC. The picture in the mag looks just like the 500FTZ. Unfortunately, I suspect a Pop Photo typo rather than an upcoming Pentax flash.

I really dislike the busy, jumbled layout of their "gear guide"--not to mention the skimpy information! --- Mark Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I was just leafing through the new issue of Popular > Photography that > arrived today and, much to my surprise, what did I > see in the buyer's > guide section on high end flash units but the new > Pentax AF 500 FTX! > (It's on page 81) > They had a photo of the new flash but not many > details except for > built-in slave capability.
