P-TTL metering relies entirely on usual multizone metering. This is why it was so much cheaper to abandon plain old TTL (much less hardware, less software = much cheaper). It means that a new flash would not change much if PTTL protocol doesn't change or if metering doesn't change (except badly engineered Sigmas maybe).
Luckily the K-7 has an improved metering. I'm not using flash enough to say how much better it is than older Pentax DSLRs but it is better. The classical shoot in front of a mirror was quite acceptable when K10D was not. The guys from the list who own a K-7 and use flash should make thourough testing :) I'd help but consider myself as a total noob as per flash use :( -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- Photo: K10D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ...
