Ah right got you, sorry did not fully understand the answer,so it will talk but only as far as FIRE and thats it all the extra gizmos the camera can tell it will be ignored

Thanks for that. I have now read the pages mentioned but I am still all at sea. The Cobra 750AF has exactly the same contacts on it as the hotshoe of the Pentax k10D, and I have now purchased the manual from OTC(which is a rip off in my opinion £8.00 for a few photocopied sheets) but it does...
