Hi Soldbear!
I used the 45 CL-4 with my DS and K10D with a direct non-ttl connection (I do not have them with me as I am on holiday, but next week I can give you the two model codes).
Before I tried I had verified with Metz and Pentax that it is safe with DSLR's
EDIT: The
CT-4 is not safe however, like you said.
The CT4 is safe, it is the older CT1 that wasn't. sorry for the false information.
FYI! If you have a Ist D or DS, you can get the TTL enabled adapter and cable to give TTL support as both these DSLR's have the TTL module!
Metz wrongly convinced me to get the manual adapter, as they supposed my DS could not have TTL support, even though I told them it did lol
