Anthony, Yes, my Super Program (Super A) never gave me problems with TTL flash. Actually, the PZ-1 (Z-1) was on the money with slides as well. I've kept the *istDS just for TTL flash, which seems to work at ISO 200. The K-20D and K-7D I haven't exactly figured out yet with the 540FTZ flash. I shoot, then I chimp, then I shoot again until it's right. Regards, Bob S.
