No misery. The flash works great. But I use it quite a bit and some
buildup of residue on the contacts is to be expected. In truth, it
appears to be more on the camera than the flash. The erratic behavior
on low batteries is only with high-speed synch, a function that neither
of those flashes named below includes.

beautifully.
Come on Pentax, get your act together and put these guys out of their
misery.
