Surfed into this NY City Camera store at: http://47stphoto.com/item_child.asp?c=7089654&p=4202386&catky=&subca...
and was wondering does this mean they finally made one for our P=TTL system as I can't seem to find other stores carrying it yet as it's a lot of money I and would like to know this and purchase one locally in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) in case it breaks etc.

Thanks,

Me thinks that because it uses S-TTL, and it ain't on Sigmas website, that there is a teensy weensy little spelling mistake going on here.

They seem to have spelled Sigma - P E N T A X !

I don't believe this is P-TTL compliant unfortunately

It appears it is for a Sigma camera S-TTL but they are saying it will work with a Pentax :
Not really sure about this but will look into it further.

Thanks for your fast reply as I was unsure and as it's American holiday weekend I was not about to try an e-mail question to the URL.

Best wishes for next week.
