I purchased the AF-500FTZ flash. In case anyone was wondering, here's
what works with this flash on a Pentax K100D:
Manual mode: - Works at all power levels and zoom settings
Flash automatically zooms to match the 18-55mm lens: - Works
Flash zoom manual override: - Works
Focus assist light: - Works
Strobe (multiple burst) mode: - Works
Ready light in viewfinder: - Works
Automatically limits camera shutter speed to 1/180 max when the
AF-500FTZ is turned on: - works
Optical slave mode: - Works, as long as the master flash doesn't use
P-TTL or red eye reduction.
Second-curtain sync? - Yes and no. The "delayed" sync timing works, but
the flash always fires at full power.
TTL mode: - No, because the K100D doesn't support it. The flash always
fires at full power when set to TTL mode, and used on the Pentax K100D.
P-TTL mode: - No, because the AF-500FTZ doesn't support it.
