Hi,
Anyone has or had Pentax K-s2 and flash Metz 52?
Although, it has PTTL-HSS mode, I was not able to get it working with times shorter than 1/90.
Camera let's me put 1/200 (although, without times between), but flash is not synchronised.
Firmwares are updated and I cannot find anything about such issue.

K-S2 + T28-75 + DA10-17 + DA18-135 + HD55-300 + LTD 21, 35, 40, 70 + Super A + A28 2.8 + A50 1.4 + A50 1.7

I do not have a KS2, but as far as I am aware all Metz flashguns are capable of high speed synchonisation (HSS) with Pentax dslrs in TV or Manual setting. I have just tried my K5 with a Metz 44AF. It synchronised right up to 1/8000th of a second. Hope this helps.
