Not for me it wasn't. I had two older (non-Pentax) flashes that would
both consistently lock up my ZX-5 when they fired. After a handful of
tests, I got rid of them.
That sounds more like a compatability issue. If it was a voltage one, I
suspect the camera would stop working entirely, not just with them mounted.
We had some problems with Minolta Maxxum and third party flashes years ago.
It was badly implemented technology, nothing more.
