Mine just turned up, a couple of test shots on P-TTL to prove that it works looked fine, now it's back in the box until xmas...

[edit] Interestingly, I signed up to be emailed by amazon when it came back into stock about a month ago - did I get an e-mail from them? Nope... I just happened to notice the bookmark the other day and thought 'I'll just check...'. Moral is don't trust amazon back-in-stock e-mail notifications [/edit]

I presume that since the internals are identical to the Pentax unit it shouldn't have any of the compatibility worries of the 3rd party flashes...
- on the hot shoe
- off-camera using wireless (fired by the K10D built-in flash)
- and now off-camera using a 5P sync cable and adapters FG and F.
Exposures so far seem qualitatively fine.
The only limitation I'm seeing, which I knew about already, is that it meters in matrix mode, not spot or centre-weighted, so if there's a lot of bright background in the frame (like a white wall), the subject (just as with ordinary backlit scenes) comes out underexposed.
