After reading this a little bit closer, I don't think that this flash could be used ON a Pentax camera (as I was originally thinking). It is designed for strobist-style off-camera use. Correct me if I'm wrong. But this is why when you order a Metz you need to buy one for your camera brand. This flash *has* no such differentiation (and needs none if being used as a slave off-camera).
