Sorry to disappoint you but it also works on the K100D I believe, if you have the right flash that is.
I assume I need a Dedicated flash ?? AF 360FGZ or AF 540FGZ ?

Hi Stuart, hope you get much pleasure from your photographic hobby I am also retired and I do not know what I would do without it, might even have to start knitting.

Absolutely! I have used it with both K10D and K7 it even works in Wireless Mode.
As i said the Manual states that the sync is unlimited and gives the Guide Numbers for Combinations From 100 iso to 400iso and shutter speeds up to 1/6000th sec (Pre K7)and i have taken a couple of test shots at 1/8000th sec just to see for myself. The Manual does state that it is meant for use as Fill in Flash (Which is what i use it for) but it does Sync perfectly.
The 1/180th sec only applies to the in built flash or non HSS Flashes.
(must buy that K10 !!)

My technique is to pre-focus on a spot and wait for the subject to come into focus. If you set the camera up so that it will not fire until the image is sharp then set the Camera to single shot AF and the DA Lens to Manual, You can then keep your finger on the shutter button until the Camera fires itself.
Best Regards - Pete.

I'm an electronics engineer/programmer (retired) who took up photography back in the 80s using Olympus film equipment (OM-4). Used mainly b&w and had my own dark room. Lost interest due to other things in life and sold everything, but my interest is now rekindled and I'm back with digital. Have a K100 but looking to get a K10 when I can afford it. Using Photoshop Elements 6, at the moment. Uploading to microstock sites to try and pay for all this gear !!
That's all folks !!
