i would like to add my part on this. Updated last night, and for me it didn't work. It's just the same. And i noticed that i am having overexposure with direct flash to. But now the output is, at least, much more consistent so i can dial - 1,3 FEC and i am set. Either with AFGZ 360 or METZ 50.

Ditto that. I have the Pentax 540 flash and i use -1,7 FEC to get a reasonable exposure with bounce flash, manual mode, fixed iso, kit lens. But at least it's consistent with 1.12, one FEC value works for all bounce flash. It's improved enough to be usable with that workaround now.

Regards,
--Anders.

Also, i noticed a sligthly, but noticeable improvement on focus speed. Previous FW was somewhat hesitant. Now is snapier again, just like new, with FW 1.0.
But heres one, may be dumb question fellas, anyone noticed improvements on noise up to 25600? Mine seemed lees noise, although i didn't made any scientific compariosion with before....
But that might be cause i was using the k10d again, just before.
