Steve, Yes, the *ist or *ist D have HSS. The 360 flash is probably the most versatile flash Pentax has produced. It can be use in manual or auto (with good f stop range) on everything from an MX all the way up to wireless HSS on an MZ-S with modeling light (strobe). It has three weaknesses - not as much power as the AF500FTZ, no swivel (not a big deal to me), and no capacity to take alternative power supply (Quantum battery pack).
