Boz's site is explicit on this topic (Analog TTL flashes do TTL on all bodies, digital TTL flashes only work TTL on digital bodies). Some good information also on cords. Just google "Boz" and Pentax" and take second entry. So K bodies and 645 only work with older analog flashes (Pentax, Metz etc.). If you don't like tele adapter etc., some Metz are good options as they zoom. Maybe you could try to start a thread with specific questions, and see what happens. Cheers, Andre --
