Thanks Bill, I'm finding the same thing. Seems to be ok most of the time at 400 and 1/90th but every so often it misses by a mile on the under side. The two series where it got steadily more underexposed seems to only happen at ISO 200. Haven't tried with A lenses and the 360FGZ, hope that works a LOT better than this. I've actually not had too much trouble in the past with Pentax TTL flash, this was a bit of a shock.
