More info if it helps, can get an exposure at 1/180th anything faster is just a dark screen. it is as though the flash is too fast for the camera or vice versa. firmware up to date. works fine with !st DL so a K3ii problem with it by the look of it.

Would suggest you need to go for after market triggers, I've gone for cactus which work very well but I understand have now stopped production so godex may be your only current option.

Is it because the *istDL is TTL compatible but not P-TTL ?

Just to satisfy my curiosity...was this the firmware on the camera, or the flash unit ?

Thanks. I've got a K3/Metz, so that could save me some head scratching should I encounter anything similar
