I'm not expecting it to work on anything but manual. I have a Minolta 360PX which works in just this way, but its power settings only go as far as 1/16. I'd like to be able to take advantage of the three additional stops of control my Vivitar has to offer. I'm cheap; I would like to be able to use an item I already have rather than spend money! To that end I want to know if I'm missing something in the set-up of the camera or flash or if the pins of the camera are confusing the flash or the pins on the flash are confusing the camera. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue in trying to use a Canon dedicated flash on their Pentax DSLR. From a quick look at a few threads here and elsewhere, I get the impression it should be possible. Unfortunately my KS-2 has not read the threads in question...
