To give Metz some further recognition of the situation we are in, I also sent them an e-mail last week about my TTL problem with the K10D. They told me that they expect to know more about their solution to P-TTL for Pentax DSLR's by March-April, but have no solution now other than just try A or M-mode. Meanwhile I'm having good results for the 32MZ-3 in A-mode with SCA 3701 on the K10D in Av-mode, so in my situation I can wait on further developments.

Speaking about external flashes only (not RTF one). ist-D and ist-DS do support TTL (although with the D it really is not very reliable) all others DSLRs do NOT support TTL. In all the case, all DSLRs support P-TTL. Now the trick is... Metz has yet to produce an adapter which provides P-TTL support to their very good flashes which means that... even the most advanced Metz flash can at this time only work in neither TTL nor PTTL with Pentax DSLRs except ist-D and DS with which they will work in TTL mode. So in a word you're stuck with Auto and manual mode. They * should * work but... in read a couple times that 3702 has a couple problems in A mode with DSLRs... Howver 3701 has no problem. Of course Metz coming with a proper adapter would be a nice solution but for the time being... we are ... stuck shall I say :( Hope you see now why this stuff is complicated ... but Metz is right with their specifications... -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
