Thanks for the update, sounds good so far ...
No, we can't expect the Pentax to work as an HSS slave with the Shanny, as this depends on the P-TTL Wireless feature which the Shanny doesn't have .... But I'm glad to hear that the manual optical triggering worked the other way round.
Yes, what's needed now is a good trigger system to give that remote manual power control. It will be interesting to see if the Cactus V6 and V6II will be able to work with the Shanny, via a manual profiling. In theory the V6II should be able to work with the flashes digital TTL protocol for remote HSS triggering and power control.
Apologies for the silly Q's; does this mean that this flash cannot be trigerred remotely via the pop-up flash?Thanks for the update, sounds good so far ...

If not then this could be accomplished via a cheap trigger?
Off topic perhaps, can the Metz 44 af2 be trigerred via the pop-up flash?
Thanks

Hello Cedric
I own both the Sigma 10-20 and Pentax 16-85, with the Pentax being my go-to lens.
I agree with what Stuey says, in that it gets some time to get used to, but the results can be rewarding.
Another positive is that it can do things other lenses cannot; being ultra wide isn't just about cramming more into the scene, but offers a totally different way to frame the scene (for example you can get really close to a subject and give a totally different perspective that wouldn't be possible with a 'normal' lens).
Hope that makes sense
An example @ 10mm

Hi all,
I've just joined up as I've finally bought my first Pentax. I've been shooting with a Samsung NX30 for a year or so, but using Pentax lenses with an adapter. Today however, the postman has just delivered my K-1
All I need now if for the cloud to lift so I can get out and try it!

This is an extract from it, Google translated
"The flash unit supports the wireless Pentax-P-TTL remote system in the Slave flash operation.
One or more slave devices can be used
From a master Controller flash on the camera
(E.g., mecablitz 64AF-1P digital) or From the camera master's wireless Remote control.
For the slave flash unit 44AF-2
Always use all remote channels 1, 2, 3 and 4".
Expanding on silly Q's then, the pop-up flash could be used as the controller to trigger this remotely in p-ttl mode?
Thanks
Adrian
