I'm waiting for one of these too. I'll likely get a 58AF-1 P/S when they actually show up. Does anyone else have one of these yet? >The Metz SCA system is no longer useful for P-TTL.

If you can find one yet. Note though, you do need certain flashes for it to work. Firstly, it needs to be SCA 3002 system, and possibly only certain models in that range. I have a 54MZ-4, which I understand is supported, as well as 50MZ-5 and 40MZ-1 which are both not (as they are SCA 3000). If in doubt, check with Metz. >Sigma doesn't show the K10D P-TTL on their lists. I wouldn't personally look at a Sigma flash; too many issues with compatibility. Though as I understand it they do worth with the K10D now. >So that leaves only the Pentax AF > 540FGZ or the 360FGZ to choice from? The big killer (for me personally) with the Pentax units is the lack of 'A' mode on K10D (or other PTTL(/TLL?) cameras). This may or may not be important to you.
