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.

clean contacts. If they're not perfectly clean on both camera and flash, I have problems. Two is well charged batteries. When they get low, the flash will behave erratically before it stops cycling. But with a good set of batteries and clean contacts, the unit performs beautifully.

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