AFAIK the 500FTZ does not have a photocell so it can't function in auto mode :-(

A consideration (for me) is that the Sigma flash's angle of view starts
at 18 mm. Both of the Pentax flashes will cover 16 mm--as in DA 16-45 or
DA 16-50.
The rtf on the *ist D also covered 16 mm. The rtf on the K10D will cover
only 18 mm. Another

Hi
Has anyone successfully used an ordinary Auto Flash with the *ist
series / k100 bodies ?
One thing I really hate about these new fangled flash systems is the

Paul,
The fact it needed to be upgraded to work with a new camera using the

I never use the Sigma without a diffuser of some sort, so the wide angle issue

look at the Sigma docs. In truth AOV shouldn't be stated in terms of lens focal
length.

Exactly right; I agree completely on the pancake issue. OTOH, when all the
usual lens controls are handled on the body, then I suppose it makes sense
to minimize the lens itself. Too bad these things have sacrificed some
useful speed in the interests of unnecessary compactness. I am very pleased
