Exactly what I'm hoping we can do. There are also several non Pentax attendees that I hope to also get involved so we can have more than one brand of camera involved. We should have time to at least get an idea of the logistic problems we face by having a "trial" contest among ourselves. Bill -

Alan SCA 3702 will go with most modern Metz flashes and *ist D. It goes with MZ-S, MZ-5n, PZ-1 and other AF Pentax cameras too.

For the English version: http://www.metz.de/en/photo_electronics/sca_adaptersuche.143.html SCA3702 makes it digital TTL. I have the SCA3701, which is an older digital version. It works on the PZ1-1 and the *ist D with my 40MZ-2 flash. So using a SCA372 makes it an analogue TTL when I understand th

If I am correct, 3702 was designed so that it fits on flashes with smaller mount like 54MZ4. For flashes with bigger mount like 40MZ series, both 3701 & 3702 will work (3701 is too big to fit 54MZ4). 372 is the analog mount for LX, Super A/Program & 645, but works on AF bodies too. Regards, Ala
