I've moved this to the Flash forum.
Your existing flash set up will work in manual or auto if the Metz supports that. Your set up is TTL whereas the cameras now uses a different protocol, PTTL. This means that the camera body is unable to control the flash

But the OP was asking about the K-x, which is a digital SLR, Peter.
