I find it useful, but not specifically for the convenience of using both a separate flash and the built in one, more for the better balance of the combo camera-flash. I only had the pleasure once of using a 500 FTZ on the Z-1p along with the built in flash, doing contrast control flash (is it the correct term?); the results were quite good. I have no sure info about why Pentax did stop putting the hotshoe on the right side, but I guess they had to when they designed the MZ series cameras: a smaller camera wouldn't allow for enough room (even the display is so small, there is no exposure data in the MZ-5n/3, and I hate that...). > > Hope this helps. > > Sure does, thanks very much.
