It is common knowledge that the K10D does not have the capability to do TTL flash metering. While there are options to buy dedicated PTTL strobes for mounting on the hotshoe, there are no options currently for a PTTL ring flash.
I do not use flash very much and for general work my Sunpak 383 in "auto" mode does a decent job. However, I used Sunpak Auto DX-12R Ringflash with the PT-2D Pentax TTL module for a lot of close up work. It does not have an Auto mode, nor would that really work for close up work. So I am stuck using it in full manual mode and adjusting each exposure by trial and error. I have asked the folks at Sunpak (ToCAD) via email if they are planning on a PTTL module, but have not gotten a response yet. Anyone know if Pentax is planning on selling a PTTL capable ring flash? I guess this is one reason to keep the *istD. For extreme close up work it required dialing in quite a bit of exposure compensation but was fairly consistent after initial adjustment.
