Yes, it should.

Yes.

Not sure what you are asking about. You'll get standard P-TTL HSS.
Even the current V6II supports P-TTL HSS, just without the automatic metering aspect (manual control only). The firmware upgrade will add the automatic metering aspect and hopefully further features like second-curtain sync.

Yes.
Originally posted by beholder3 Plus you will find that there is nothing at all explicitly stating that you'll be able to use P-TTL HSS.
What do you think is being announced? Of course you'll be able to use P-TTL HSS.
Originally posted by filmamigo Those disclaimers deflate much of the hope I have for the product.
No need. None of the compatibility disclaimers apply to Pentax users.
As a Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc. person you cannot use a Pentax flash with your system, but that's it.
Originally posted by filmamigo Plus, this isn't going to work with true TTL.
What you are referring to as "true TTL" is the old, legacy analogue-controlled TTL. Cameras have not been using that system for donkey's years now. The V6II only works with gear supporting digitally-controlled TTL and the firmware upgrade will add automatic exposure support to the already existing functionality.
Originally posted by filmamigo So it doesn't enable anything new for my collection of Nikon TTL-era flashes (SB-24, -26, -28.)
The V6 (without the "II") would be the right kind of trigger for this legacy gear. It speaks the old analogue-TTL protocol, so you can remotely control the power of all the flash models you mentioned.
Not sure what you were expecting to be enabled for this gear. It is not HSS-capable anyhow. I guess it could be nice to use an off-camera SB-24 with automatic exposure control, but I doubt Cactus will add this to the V6 model as well.
