After reading some posts a while back about the possibility of wrecking the K10's flash circuit by using older flash units, I have been reluctant to mount my 280T or 200T to the camera. I looked at the new "digital ready" flashes online but I have really worn thin the good graces of the Finance Mistress with the purchases of late. The only remaining path was to ask Pentax if I could safely use my old flashes.
Here's their response: "The K10D is not compatible with a TTL flash in automatic mode. The recommended flashes are P-TTL types such as the AF360FGZ or the AF540FGZ. The AF220T and AF280T flashes can definitely be used on the new K10D, however it will only work in manual mode." Now you know.
