CAUTION: It may damage your Pentax DSLR Having been made aware by a fellow Pentaxian on this forum of a possible problem with the Promaster FTD 7000M (which I have), I contacted Promaster and have just received an email from their 'Flash Expert': The Promaster FTD 7000M flash is a great flash for 35mm cameras but it was not designed for the low sync voltage requirements or new TTL flash system of Pentax digital cameras. This flash will not work properly or safely with Pentax digital SLRs. Promaster has 2 flash units designed specifically for the low sync trigger voltage requirements and TTL flash systems of digital cameras. The FTD 5550DX is a bounce swivel flash (GN 100) that allows you to bounce off a low white ceiling either horizontally or vertically. This gives a much softer light in portrait situations and makes shadows fall more naturally the way we are used to seeing them.

According to the Promaster webs site, the 7000m is not ETTL, but TTL. That means you are stuck using Manual Flash on the rebel. Use your Guide Number and distance to calculate f stops. Distance = GN / f stop at ISO 100 for ISO 200 multiply by 1.4 for ISO 200 multiply by 2.0. If you're lucky the LCD will.

The FTD 5750DX adds a zoom head to acheive a guide# of 130 and adds a secondary fill flash to highlight under the eyes, nose and chin when bouncing. These flash units use a removeable module so if you change camera systems you can purchase the right module for your camera(s). For the Pentax*istD you will need the #5432DX module for Pentax. These flash units with the #5432DX module will be dedicated and P-TTL with the Pentax *istD.
