Re: flash for *ist D

[John Celio]

The 360 should funtion best with the *istD, since it supports the D's P-TTL. 
I have found, however, that my old 280 works well with my *istD when I use 
it in non-TTL automatic and simply set the proper distance on the back of 
the flash.

I'm going to ask my shop's Pentax rep if I can borrow his 360 next month for 
my brother's wedding and see if it's worth buying.  I will, of course, keep 
y'all informed.

Subject: flash for *ist D


What do tho think? I have an *istD and want to buy a (better) external
flash. I've two Options:
- To buy the AF 500 FTZ from a friend for 300 CHF (260$)
- To buy the 360-Flash, thats recommended by Pentax.
I've tested the 500 and a saw a little misfunction. When i changed the
ISO-Value from 200 up to another value, the image became lighter. Or to
say: too light.
That didn't happen with the - much weaker - internal flash of the
camera. Do you think this would happen with the 360, too?
