Is there convenient time for it to break? When you are not using it, it won't break, - or at least you won't notice.... But speaking seriously, - I feel for you. I just was struggling with my Metz 58 which all of a suddent had problems mating with the hot-shoe contacts. Somehow, it didn't want to be pushed all the way in, but rather pulled back just a little bit. It took me some time to figure out the optimum position... This combination (K-7 and Metz 58 AF) started developing this problem some time ago (sometimes I don't get a good contact), but this was the culmination so far. I've never had problems with AF-500FTZ and *istDS, ZX5n. I wonder if it is the flash or the body (hot shoe) that causes that. Has anybody experienced a similar problem recently with any of Pentax bodies or with Metz-58?
