Hi Bruce, TTL works on my *istDS to my satisfaction, by now, with those old flashes I have. I have a flash meter and know how to use it, but I think this would not be wedding proof, e.g. Setting a flash to auto is OK too, the K100D I owned for a short ime even transmitted the f-stop to my Metz 40MZ-2. But then, with auto flash and preset f-stop, my KX does the job as well - or my RB67, with 1/400 sync time ;-)
So why drop TTL for those who own old flashes, if it is apparently possible to implement both, at a not so high expense, I guess. I always believe there is a conspiracy, if things are not going the way I want...
