Thats the bity I hate the most about myK10D.
I can work around the ISO and AF performance - at least they are
predictable.
The first night function I shot with the K10d and my Metz 45 CL-4 flash
were a nightmare, it was so unpredictable. J just when I thought I had it
set it varied when I went to do the real shot. The exposures were all over
the place. I switched to the DS for the rest of the night and that worked
much more predictably.
I have worked on more manual control of the system, but full P-TTL is nice
when it works.
I haven't bothered to update my flash since February 1986.
I still use a Metz 60 CT2 that I bought when my Metz 402 crapped out and I
needed a flash tomorrow.
I tried TTL with the LX, and gave up on the LX for flash altogether, and
went back to the very accurate Metz auto flash.
When the istD came out, I tried TTL with it, and it failed.
When I bought the K10, I bought a Pentax flash that was supposed to be
compatable.
I think it's a 500 ftz, or somesuch.
It's batteries have probably rotted, since it is not accurate on either the
K10 or K20, and so I keep going back to the amazingly accurate Metz
autoflash.
