How About the New Pentax KX Camera??

[mtclimber]

Looking for an excellent/powerful flash to mount on the brand new Pentax KX DSLR camera. Is it P-TTL technology or something else? I am really not sure.

Perhaps, NHL, our resident flash expert can help out here.

Ideally, I would like to find a powerful and software upgradable Metz Flash for this project. That would be just about the ultimate, high power solution.

All suggestions appreciated. This project should be a lot of fun. We promise updating reports as we move along with this search for the ideal flash.

Thanks in advance for your expert, Pentax, flash help.

Have a great weekend.

Well, thus far I have determined that the new KX camera, just like the previous Km camera uses P-TTL flash synchronization, thanks to the Pentax USA website.

Have a great weekend.

More research: it appears that the Metz 48 or Metz 58 models might work. However, there are numerous comments about the complicated and very confusing Metz interface. I am becoming doubtful about Metz Flashes.

I bit the bullet and purchased the Metz36-AF4 flash. I will follow-up with some photos and comments.

Congrats on the Pentax; they make some good cameras and sometimes they are overlooked because of Nikon and Canon. Looking forward in seeing some of your shots.
