ken_yee Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Wondering if the TTL pins would mess up the K10D... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michellemandat Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I use a Nikon flash since two years on my *IST-DS. It's a SB 25 but I think that other flashes can work on Pentax camera like K10. You need to use it not in TTL mode but in automatic mode (A) with the sensor of the flash like yesterday when TTL was unknowned. SB 26/28 work in A mode and so you can use on your K10D. You set your K10D in manual mode.I wrote a page about that in french at: http://m.lemandat.free.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_chan4 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 There is no chance Nikon TTL flashes will harm Pentax bodies because those extra data pins are located slightly different if you compared them carefully. That means they will never come in contact with each other. However, Nikon shoe is thicker and will be a tight fit on Pentax bodies. Works great in A/M flash modes.

ken_yee Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Merci, Michel and thanks, Alan.I was planning in using the flash only in manual or Auto-thyristor mode. I just wanted to know if I had to tape up the TTL contacts so I don't fry the Pentax TTL system in my K10D first ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_yee Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 The foot is indeed a bit snug, but that'll help keep it from falling off. Thanks for mentioning adjusting the range for the 1.5x crop, Michel...I didn't think of that. It seems to slightly underexpose, but a quick bump of the F stop you tell the flash you're using and it works fine and it looks a lot better than the built-in flash :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
