Peter, Finder check goes on with the flash on bounce or with the 85/2 but not with the 50/1.4 ? ! ! Have you watched the recycle time?
Doesn't the finder check 'flicker' work only while the flash is recycling. Once the flash capacitors have reached full charge, the light goes on solidly. So if you fire the flash with the 50mm at f1.4, the TTL doesn't use much flash energy. The recycle time is really short. And, you don't get to see the finder check 'flicker'. Try the 50mm at f16.

What do you think, can the flash still be reliable? snip > Another clue: it has these problems with the M 50/1.4 and not with the M > 85/2 lens - strange!
