Hi Steve.
If you connect a flash to the camera, ie, the AF400T and plug it into the X socket on
the
side of the
body,you can set the shutter speed dial to X (for 1/30 sync speed) or ,any speed slower
than 1/60.
If you find a 90 f2.8 LS lens the flash will sync from the shutter release on the lens
and
you can choose
any speed.
I also have the same camera and the SMC TAK 200 F4.Its a super lens.
I really like my B&W and slide results from the camera.
