I have to say I tried a couple times my Mezt 40MZ2 with my D. It did overexpose. Now the problem is I have the old 3701 adapter without flash compensation... reason why I won't use it often... -- Thibouille -- *ist-D,Z1,SFXn,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x

Dave, I tend to carry my AF-500FTZ. I found that shooting at ISO 400 with about -.7 or sometimes -1 exposure compensation tends to work for me. I shoot usually in P mode with the lenses below. But Iam usually shooting my limited lenses and hardly use flash. When I know that I am going to be

I use the Pentax AF-360 FGZ. I've mostly used it for action photography but I've also used it for product photos. I mostly use it in A mode when shooting action because it seems to use less battery power per flash so I have less of a chance of missing shots. I use the wireless feature a lot

I shoot with the Sigma 500 Super in AV, Manual, Hyper, and TV modes at various ISOs from 200 to 800. I've used it in trailing curtain mode and high-speed synch mode. I find that it works well and delivers good results under all conditions, as long as the contacts are clean and the flash is

Yes, In Auto, Manual or Strobe modes. It will not do TTL. But I found that the Sb-24 in Auto outperforms the onboard TTL flash for exposure accuracy, even when close enough that the power differential is irrelevant. -Adam Rick Womer wrote: Can you use a Nikon flash on a Pentax?? --- Adam
