Hi,
I have a Pentax dedicated vivitar flash with TTL capabilities. Does the Z-1P
allow TTL with K and M series lenses? I tried a quick test last night with a
K 35/3.5 and would get the green auto exposure OK light on the flash to come
on only up to F 5.6 even though I was 6 ft away from the

All this talk finally inspired me
It's always problematic to test TTL flash with no film in the camera.
Since the sensor is measuring light reflected off the film, it's
measuring what would seem to be a reduced amount of light reflecting
off the black pressure plate instead.
I don't think there's any problem using TTL flash

I may be wrong but I do not
TTL is done through off-the-film metering, albeit as a separate
system from the Z-1p (and the Z1, SF1/SF1n, Super Program) camera's
regular light metering system. The LX is the only Pentax camera to
incorporate both TTL metering as well as off-the-film light metering
at the time of exposure
