looking at the pc screen, the Metz mecablitz 44 AF-2 Digital Flash for Pentax Cameras looks interesting due to low price, advertised P-TTL compatibility and "adjustable four level video light". the cash, as always, is rather short so no option more expensive than the AF360FGZ II is coming home - but IF this or another Metz is adequate, more $$ can be diverted to lenses and cameras.

from my previous experience with Pentax flashes (280t and 330ftz) they tend to eat batteries faster than ideal, but had endured a lot of abuse. the 360 FGZ II is weather resistant, but that's not to be an issue - I don't intend to take flash photography under the rain. flash photos are not so frequent, for me, to the point a Vivitar 285hv has been enough until now.

any toughts? any hands-on experience with the "video light" of those two flashes? FWIW, I do carry a flashlight in the bag all times, and have used it on occasion to light my subjects under very low light - the feature is welcome indeed.

thanks in advance!
