It depends on what you want to do with it surely. As long as it has a low enough trigger voltage, (and IIRC the K10 and K20 both have built in voltage limiters). So most any flash will be right and work with them. If you want full automation that's a different question. (Just being a wise a

That Nikon is a good camera. Much faster write speed than the *istD, although probably not as well built. Of course, you have Pentax lenses, so I guess you're just going to have to get your own camera. K10Ds are becoming quite inexpensive, and they're great cameras. Paul On May 18, 2008, at 1
