Matt.
Just on my own limited flash use,i would recomend either the 285 or the af280t.The 280
works very
well with the SuperProgram,which is a great camera.If i decide to do more MF work than
35mm
work,the SP will be one of the few 35mm i keep.
I use the 285 with the D1 and works well.I take indoor horse photos with it in a very
dark
arena,and i
get usable shots at 25 feet from moving subjects.
I think the 280 used is about the same as the 285 new.IIRK.
