Additionally, the inclusion of a built in flash is a very convenient feature

Anyone planning to grow old with their K3? - Page 13 - PentaxForums.com Originally posted by panonski The only reason I would never buy K3 II or K3iii
Absolutely. I would even accept if Pentax would release a very compact flash meant primarily for use as a P-TTL wireless master or a bit of fill. While using IR to wirelessly control other flashes was in my opinion, not Pentax's best decision, I DO really like my Pentax 540 flash - it just works fairly intuitively. Set it up as an off-camera key light and control it from the K-3's popup as either a fill light or just a TTL controller.
I like the size of the Metz 26 AF-2, but that flash is either an on-camera P-TTL or a wireless P-TTL slave ... really, really, really want an on-camera wireless P-TTL master. In my K-1 kit I have to carry a heavier bag and give up space that could be better used to carry two large flashes just so I have an on-camera wireless P-TTL master.
