There´s a test of the 43 Limited in Foto Magazin 1/2003. Verdict: super, 5/5 stars. Optical performance 9.6/10, mechanical 9.8/10. Practically no flare. Excellent sharpness in the center, a bit soft in the corners at full aperture, good at f:4. Vignetting at full aperture, stopped down OK.

Z1P flash question

2002-12-25 Thread Frankie Lee
I have two questions on my Z1P built-in flash. 1. How long would be the battery life if all exposure need the full output of the flash? 2. If I use an external TTL flash together with the built-in flash, how does the camera divide the output of the two flashes? Please advise.
