Just tried Metz 44 AF-1 on K-1 and could only use M mode, the flash would not fire in TTL mode. Works fine on K-5.
I've fired a report to Metz and will add any response I get from them here.
I've tried setting sync speed to 180 in the config ('C' Page 1, '7 Flash sync speed', option 2), but still no go for pTTL.
Response from Metz:
Thank you very much for your e-mail enquiry of 30 April 2016.
We regret the trouble that you have with your flash unit 44 AF-1 respectively with your new digital camera Pentax K-1.
Unfortunately, this new digital camera Pentax K-1 is not yet available for us for testing purposes. For that reason this type of camera is also not yet mentioned on our homepage.
Since last Friday we heard also from a few other customers that there are problems with the new Pentax K-1 in P-TTL flash control mode.
So we guess that this type of camera works different to the former Pentax digital cameras (K-5, K-5 II, K-3, K-3 II, K-30, K-50 and so on) and this will lead to some trouble.
Our development department will try to get a new Pentax K-1 in order to fix the problems as soon as possible. However, we fear this will take some time.
Regrettably, at the moment we can’t supply you a fast solution for that problem.
However, we will inform you immediately by e-mail when there will be any news concerning this problem.
We regret to have no other information for you at the moment and remain
With kind regards
Wolfgang Becker

I can confirm the problem does not exist in crop mode. Information passed on to Metz. Thanks Tjompen1968!
