Well as you know all cameras FF with tungsten light, especially the K10D without the extra sensor. Also, it had like 9 zones of metering or something like that and the exposure wasn't reliable in evaluative mode (I only used pont metering of a neutral area) and P-TTL wasn't that great compared to the current cameras but useable. So, to answer your question, with flash it will get the exposure right most of the times.
Then the K-7 came out with the extra sensor to compensate for different wavelength of light and the 77 (?) or zone metering. The focus in dim light was excellent, tungsten light AF was fine and P-TTL was a dream to use.
I used the K-5 and the tunsten light AF is off, couldn't use the flash well as when the pop-up flash was used it overexposed a lot of times AND the focus was OFF. This is a majot step backwards from the K-7, which had point and shoot simplicity with metering, tungsten light focus and P-TTL. That's why I returned the K-5.
But, the K-5 has so many other advantages, and I can't wait for these to be resolved so I can get one.
