Yes, In Auto, Manual or Strobe modes. It will not do TTL. But I found that the Sb-24 in Auto outperforms the onboard TTL flash for exposure accuracy, even when close enough that the power differential is irrelevant.

Can you use a Nikon flash on a Pentax??

Nikon SB-24, A or M mode on the flash, M mode 1/125
and appropriate aperture (usually F11) on the D, off-camera candids more often than not, sync'd with a PC Cord. I never use the onboard flash after a couple of attempts indicated it was more trouble than it was worth (Due to vignetting with lenshoods)

Sorry folks but i just had a thought, and i'm

afraid i'll involve you.LOL

Seems to be a lot of flash questiions since the

istD came out, and i'm one of the askers

aswell. I seem to have semi decent results with the Sigma Super

and not all shooting modes sem to work,

so i was wondering,,,,,

What flash do you find works well on your istD or

version there of.A Pentax flash, the

Sigma Super 500 or other lick Metz or Sunpack or Vivitar.

For your specific type of shooting, ie: wedding,

landscape fill flash etc, what setting do

you find works best. Green mode, Hyp P mode Tv, Av or manual.Does

bounce flash work for you or does

direct flash only produce results.

As an example in a decently lit lounge with

florecent lighting i can get a good shot at

iso 800,in Green mode with Sigma 500. Change to 400 or 200 and

exposure is way off.

However with my D1 or D2H, if i shoot in Manual

mode at 1/60 around f 4, ;like i would

with my PZ-1 or SP i get very good results, but not with the istD.

Just thought i could pool any answers then forward

to Tom for the FAQ link.

If you dont want to play, thats ok, i'll forward

that to Tom to.:-)
