Originally posted by fs999 I am not sure about that. I think it is the contrary. I am not using the flash any more (except for macro shots) with my K5, due to the high ISO capability.
On the other hand my K10D and K20D had no flash problems at all.
With the K7 they changed some specifications of the PTTL(they don't communicate about this but I think they removed the old film TTL compatibility), and my Dörr macro ring flash didn't work any more. But my Metz continued to work well.
I will make some test with the internal flash.
If there is a problem, then that would prove that Metz has a workaround with its last firmware update of the 48 AF1...
Indeed, the evidence gathered until now indicates that the problem began with the K-7. The K10/20 were fine in that regard.
fs999, there is little point testing the internal flash -- because it's fine! The problem, as indicated by me here and by many others is with PTTL overexposure when the flash is bounced - and
only when it's bounced. this happens regardless of flash manufacturer - be it Pentax, Sigma (mine) or Metz.
EDIT: Of course I forgot to mention that the problem is only with the flash on-shoe. Wireless PTTL bounce works fine! (thx Quicksand.)
dtsui - I agree this is very disappointing.
