use of k10d and older flash units

[andrew_ng7]

I'm getting my k10d in a week and a half and wanted to know how well will my

older flash units work with it. I have an AF200S that I bought years ago to use

with my Pentax LX. I use to pair this with my Metz 45CT-5 but now that there

isn't a sync connector I won't be able to. I guess I won't need to use the

AF200S anymore since the k10d has a pop up flash to act as fill but won't this

drain the battery faster?

 

Are there hot shoe sync devices out there that will allow the use of a hot shoe

flash and an off camera flash?

 

Should I just ditch the old and go new?

 

Can anyone explain the wireless sync option with the k10d? How does that work.

 

 

Please excuse my lack of knowledge/terminology. It's been a long time since I've

taken pictures just for the fun of it. Currently so far out of it. Hope I

actually remember how to use an SLR. I don't regret using point and shoot

digitals for the past 6 years but it is a step backwards.
