Hooray, moving forawrd from an IST-Ds to a K-70. Does anyone know if my AF360FGZ AutoFlash will work with the K-70?

Thanks in advance.

On camera for sure. Not sure if the k70 has communication for off camera. The ks2 does not.

I think that's right, the K70 is one of the more recent models to lose the Optical Wireless feature. With both the built in flash and AF360 in Manual mode however, you will be able to use 'dumb optical' S2 Slave mode on the AF360 when off camera.

All on camera features and flash modes will work ok.

Thanks for the info. I was just notified that the camera is at the doorstep so I guess I know what I will be doing this weekend.
