I use a seperate Metz Spot Beam, which will function with several different falshes. I guess the limit for when it turns on is dicided by the camera and the lens - whenever focusing is difficult. Since focusing is performed at full aperture, it shouldn't be the same EV for a 3.5 and a 1.4 lens. Anyway, when I use a 2.8 lens, my SB turns on (with the MZ-S) at 1/30 sec. f 2.8 (EV 8) at 200 ISO.
All teh best Jens Bladt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hjem.get2net.dk/bladt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Ryan Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 16. april 2004 15:19 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Re: AF Spot Beam Help Not really low at all in my usage.. Even in bright daylight all it takes is a dark coloured subject (centre weighted metering if that's of any consequence..) I've noticed. It's useful at times, but some people get cranky in the midday sun, being spotbeamed in the face, then walloped by a flash. On the other hand, those that don't mind are more worth photographing given their rarity! :-) Cheers, Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Dalal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 10:51 PM Subject: Re: AF Spot Beam Help > From: "Ryan Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Hi Mark, > > > > Mine does in TTL.
