Hello. I have a couple of AF-500-FTZ questions:

1)Guide Number-164/ISO 100.  Is 164 an accurate guide number for this flash? I realize 
that flash manufactures tend to over rate their guide number, but I thought I read a 
comment here that Pentax uses the flash zoom head at telephoto position to obtain the 
high guide number. I am not sure that has any relevance to the actual guide number.

2)I am looking at this flash for Wedding and other event photography. I have the 
AF-280-T, which I like a lot,but I need more power. I like to use Reala film, but with 
an ISO of 100, I find the AF-280-T not quite sufficient. 

I will be using the flash with my PZ-1P. I also have an LX but it is my understanding 
that the AF-500-FTZ is not compatible with it.

As always, thank you. Someday I hope to contribute an answer and not just ask 
questions.

Francis
