The ST is also without the high speed synch and trailing curtain synch.
I originally bought the ST without realizing that the Super was
available. I returned it and bought the Super. It's well worth the
extra bucks. And, as you said, it works very well with the Pentax
digital SLRs.

Currently, I use a Sunpak Auto 266D with a Zx-5n. I am not sure if
this flash
is compatible with the *istDS. If I were to invest in a Pentax flash,
am I
limited to the AF360FGZ? My needs are relatively "simple" &
non-fancy. I don't
think that I would ever use the "wireless" capabilities of the
360FGZ. What are
others using?
The Sigma EF-500 DG Super is outstanding with the ist-D. It's about
$200.00. I haven't tried the less expensive Sigma flash, the EF-500 DG
ST but I think it's just slightly lower powered and without some of the
advanced features like wireless flash.
