Will using my old Pentax AF240z flash gun on my new digital Pentax 1st dl camara damage the camara?

Answer

it should be fine, the pentax240z flash trigger voltage has been measured at 4.8v (according to http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html)

I couldn't find the limit for the hotshoe voltage, but it is most likely very high.
(Canons tend to be low like around 6volts max. my kodak is 400volts max).

cheers
