I have a stupid question. :-) Ever since beginning photography, flash has
been the most troublesome tool. However, what I'd like to know, is how safe
is it to use other flashes on a Pentax camera? The Pentax literature
doesn't suggest it and warns against major malfunction and nuclear meltdown.
:-). Even some in the store tell me to go with Pentax, even when I'm
looking at an expensive Metz. Has anyone here had any trouble, or ever
heard of someone having trouble?
If Pentax had manufactured films, I bet they would not have recommended you use Fuji or Kodak either. :)

But seriousely, I have the Metz 40MZ3i and Pentax AF200T. The strange thing is, when set to full auto TTL mode - hyper-program mode, the Z-1p recommended different shutter speed and aperture with different flash. However, since I don't have the AF500FTZ, I do not know if the aperture and shutter speed suggested by the Metz flash was "normal". But the difference is huge between these 2 flashes.

regards,
Alan Chan
