...I wonder why they can't seem to cut off the flash light at the right time?????. This isn't exactly new technology - at least 20 years old. Jens

I have the AF400FTZ and the AF240FT, and they are both hopeless with the *ist D. Sadly, the problem is not consistent, so you can't reliably compensate for it. What does work well, for me, is the AF240Z, which is a smallish dedicated, non-TTL, flash with zoom, bounce and swivel. It works fine when both flash and camera are in program mode.
