Hi Kostas I can live with AUTO mode only, that is good enough most of the time for me. I often use AUTO with the Metz flashes and TTL if I can not point the flash sensor directly on the subject. Maybe I can disable Preflash on the Pentax D to be able to trigger some old slave Osram flashes with the build in flash, then I will have no need to buy a newer flash from Pentax only for the K10D's new protocol.

The same question for my > Metz flashes with 372 module... The story is a bit complicated and I should not get it wrong. However, Pentax has been gradually dropping TTL in favour of P-TTL; I believe the K10D will not do TTL and someone may enlighten us about the K100/110D. Pentax has had the P-TTL-capable but puny AF360FGZ available for yonks and recently and at last released the much beefier AF540FGZ (still not available in the UK, BTW). Metz on the other hand are not releasing a P-TTL module. Auto (the kind that's measured by the flash) should always work as well as it has always worked with your flash of choice. If I was keen to use my flash I would check the camera manual before buying.
