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.

I have a Vivitar 6000 AF macro flash, which does TTL and, according to
Vivitar, operates at "less than 6 volts".
When I tried it on a PZ-1p, the camera locked up. I put the flash aside
and planned to throw it out, rather than dump it on someone else (I had
bought it from a list member down under). But based on reports of other
users, I tried it on the D and it works fine. Even the exposures are
accurate, even though it does not do P-TTL.
I'm still wondering why -- why it works fine on the D but not the 1p,
and why it exposes accurately with only TTL.
