I just end my test and I'm satisfied now...I downloaded the latest firmware version for K50 and clear hot shoe contacts. I tested camera with metz flash using manual mode. The pics histogram showed that the zoomed to 135mm images are brighter with popup flash than those taken by the metz. However are acceptable and after an increase to the flash power level to +1 from camera's settings , the histograms between the photos are quite the same.
That is ok and in accordance with the answer I received today from the Metz technical support "...according to our experience images which are taken with the built-in camera flash of Pentax cameras are brighter than images which are taken with an external flash in Pentax camera's hot shoe (also with original external Pentax flash units)."
thanks for the replies and suggestions.

exactly! ..... the problem occurs when I zoom above 24mm. The same picture with pop up flash is probably exposed, while with metz is underexposed... When I get home I'll pictures with metz and pop flash to compare... I'm a beginner and I cannot understand what is going wrong...
Thanks for the reply..

I recently bought a metz-24af-1 for pentax flash to use it with my K50 with 18-135mm lens. However the images when I zoom are underexposured. I'm talking about photos inside my home at 3 to 5 meters distance. I set the exposure compensation to +3 to take a proper photo. Do I make something wrong or the flash is defective? The flash always shows that the ttl system worked ok...:(

I purchased the K-50 with 18-135 zoom lens in last August one day before summer holiday. I came back with tons superb photos that I took. I think that this kit is a great value and a great starting point.

Hi everybody... I've just found this forum and I'm very glad that I could share my pentax momments with you... I have a K-50 with 18-135 lens for 6 months now. I have used it just for family photos and now I'm trying to understand how to use an external metz flash. I'll post a question to the appropriate section...
