Thanks all.
I forgot i bought the Lumiquest pocket bounce last April for the band
photo's.That provided a nice lighting effect.I'll put that in the bag.If i
use the 280T in TTL and the Super Program on flash sync 125,the camera/
flash combo should still fiqure out the proper length of burst,should it
not?,using the pocket bounce
When i shot the band i used the Minolta ivf to set the f stop,with the pocket bounce
but
i should not have to do this with TTL correct????
