William I found that you were absolutly right! I) have recieved my newst "toy" - Metz 60 CT-2 from Germany today. It DOES do TTL with the *ist D (and my Super A) when I use the C81 adapter and a Pentax sync cord. BRILLIANTLY, in fact.
I am surprised how light this huge flash is, because there's no on-board batteries. I dont even miss the second flash tube (which the CT-4 has) - since I can use the RFT on my *ist D and my MZ-S (when I recieve Joe Wilensky's). I just LOVE shooting with two flashes because the light seem quite natural this way! This was shot at a reception earlier today, using: Pentax *ist D, Tamron 3.5-5-6/28-80mm Asperical, Metz 45 CT-5 with two flsh tubes in TTL position, using a proper AF adapter: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bladt/6782063/ Regards Jens >Thanks a lot, William. >I already have a C81 adapter and a Pentax sync. cord with it.
