Thanks to everyone for all their comments and pointers. I'm torn between sendig
it straight off to Pentax and putting a film through it first. I think it'll
probably be the latter.
I tried the AF360FGZ on it last night and it appears to work, although the
flash exposure confirmation led doesn't blink. It does show red when the flash
is charged, and the flash fires at different outputs depending on aperture. It
won't fire if above the sync speed. Perhaps I won't need the 280T I won on eBay
the other night.
One strange thing - when indicating a long exposure in automatic mode if always
seems to fire at about 1/60th. The exception is when the exposure is started
with the lens cap on when it continues until I take the cap off. I realise the
reflectance of the pressure plate is difference to film, but the websites
indicate that the exposures should be longer, not shorter. I'll have to see
what it does with film.
I think the fun is just beginning!
Nick
