I'm pretty sure choosing the second curtain flash in the camera menus
just affects the on-board pop-up flash. And it still gives off the
pre-flash that P-TTL uses to determine how much output it's going to need.
I think the P-TTL cameras use the hot shoe digital pin differently &
that's what throws the AF-500FTZ off.

The ready light should work. I don't know about anything else.
Shouldn't second curtain just trigger the hotshoe at the end
regardless of flash attached?

I'm strongly considering purchasing a used Pentax AF-500FTZ, mainly for
off-camera "strobist" style shooting. As I understand it, the unit has a
built-in optical slave which should work fine for manual-mode, strobist
style shooting.
I'd also like to us this flash in the hot shoe of my K100D, which only
supports P-TTL mode. I know that I'll have to use the AF-500FTZ in manual
mode to control the exposure. I'm fine with that.
Do any of these other AF-500FTZ features work with K100D:
Focus assist light?
Strobe (multiple burst) mode?
Second-curtain sync?
Ready light in viewfinder?
I appreciate any information you can share about this particular combination
of gear.
Thanks,
Glen
