Pentax instruction leaflet provided with the flash adapters/cords warnings you not to put a hot shoe adapter F on camera AND then a flash unit on it. Why the heck? How can this be different from putting an adapter on camera, a 5p cord attached onto it and a flash unit at the other end of the cord?
It is clearly a mechanical problem: the adapter F does not clamp securely on the hotshoe and it may fall off. I have used an AF330FTZ on the adapter F (and an AF500FTZ feeding off the cable and stuck on the old Pentax grip) and I *did* notice that the AF330FTZ had a tendency to pull the adapter off the hotshoe.
