Canon 380EX with Cactus V6?

Hello!
I have a Pentax K-3 + Metz 58 AF-2 (for Pentax). I also have a Canon 380EX flashlight. Is it possible to use the Canon flashlight with the Pentax K-3+Metz+3 Cactus V6?

    The V6 will definitely work with the K-3 and the Metz 58 AF-2.

    The Canon 380EX should also work with the V6, but I haven't seen anyone confirm that yet.

    Class A, thank you for your reply!
    Canon 380EX has only two modes: E-TTL and E-TTL HSS. Does it mean that with the Cactus v6 one will aquire a manual control over its output?

    Sorry, I don't have the Canon 380EX and cannot comment.

    I'm pretty sure, though that the flash supports A-TTL. Try to set it to (A-)TTL when the flash is not connected to the camera.

    I think, I will have to try it out.
    Thank you, Class A for your help!
