Alright, so I got this metz 32CT3 flash (from a german guy for 8 bucks!!

). The thing is, it is said to have ~22 volts on fully charged batteries, and my measurement gave ~15v on used eneloops. I'm pretty sure that it is safe for my K10D, but just as a safety - what do you say? it seems to work okay in auto on the camera, though a couple of times it just did not fire - a press on the test button corrected that, but I'm worried.
Oh, and has anyone had any experience with it?

Have used on my K10D and now using on my K20D, Not P-TTL though, manual only

I've been using a Sunpak 522 with trigger voltage of 22V with my K10D, no problem yet.

Oh, that's cool then; I wonder why it's missing a flash sometimes...
