No TTL flash. I don't have one that works with the K-5.

so far as I know, Pentax abandoned support for the TTL flash with abut the *istD
and have since only supported the "P-ttl" which I haven't heard anyone claim was an improvement, but was at least in my estimation done in anticipation of digital cameras without mirror boxes.

Yes, in this instance I was using TTL generically which is bad I know - I should have been specific and said p-TTL, my apologies if it caused a bum steer...

Just got an e-mail from B&H that the GPS module is finally in and off of backorder status. Unfortunately, it was too late for me to take it on a great trip to Hawaii my wife and I took in late August and early September. It would have been nice to have GPS coordinates available for the over 1000 shots I took over a span of two weeks on the various islands in the Hawaiian chain. I went ahead and ordered it, nonetheless. It will be great for any future trips. Better late than never, I guess. Sigh.
