A friend of mine with a *ist-DL just bought a cheepie TTL flash
and was surprised to discover that it didn't work. I seemed to recall
that was one of the neuterings that Pentax did between the DS and the DL
(removed TTL flash). Sure enough, it seemed to work fine on my -DS...
even with an pre-A lens!
So, upon checking the respective camera manuals (pp 177 on the -DS
and 178 on the -DL), the table agreed. One thing I found strange
though... P-TTL alegedly *doesn't* work with an A lens on a -DS but does
on a -DL. Can anyone verify this? What about with a pre-A lens? It
seems weird to me that it *would* work on a -DS but would on a -DL.
If that's the case, if I were looking to get a more automatic
flash than the three Vivitar 285's I've got, I should probably get a TTL
instead of a P-TTL. What are the drawbacks to that?
Thanks,
-Cory
