Pentax's data sheets/brochures say that the RTF only syncs up to
1/180 sec. I believe that in order to get flash sync to 1/6000
sec we have to buy a brand new flash designed specifically for
the MZ-S with that feature. Another $300+ investment, if it's
priced close to the AF500FTZ. It's probably worth the price.
