I'm not sure of this. If body can't see this pin, then it should thnik that
it is analogue TTL flash. Flash too - when it can't digitally communicate
with body, but would have signal on TTL (mode) contact would set itself to
analog TTL. In other words *istD would be seen by AF360FGZ as LX or Super A,
while flash would be seen by istD the same way as it sees AF280T :-)

I tried this, but it is good only when you use flash as a main source of
light - *istD doesn't take available light in consideration.

Of course - no aperture ring - no tricks ;-)
