When I talked with a Pentax rep, he had to get ahold of an
engineer to figure out the voltage they were good for. He said that in my
-DS, it used a 370V-rated device IIRC. I've used my Vivitar 2800 (approx
280V trigger voltage) many times on my -DS without incident. Designing a
flash foot that won't take over 10V is evil (read: Canon).
