I have just bought my first dslr and still waiting for it to arrive. A Pentax ist 110d and I already own 2 dedicated flashes. 1 is a Pentax AF280T and the other is a Cobra D650. Will either of these work properly with my camera. Thanks for any help and advice.

The AF280T will work in either of it's 2 Auto modes (Red & Green position on the switch). It will also work manually at full output.

It will not work using it's TTL capability because the K110D camera uses only P-TTL and not the older TTL system for controlling flash output.

I have no experience of the Cobra D650 flash.

I will repeat part of my reply to your question on pentaxforums.com

It's important to check trigger voltages of old flashes. Too high volages will fry your camera.

And yes, the Cobra is safe according to http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html (just for reference for others)
