Re: interesting flash limitation in *ist-Ds

Yep, that's the way all manual flashes used to work. You just set your 
stop based on the distance. Pretty simple really, especially with a 
small flash of very limited range.

I took a look at the *ist-Ds manual, and it appears that if an older 
lens
(i.e., not an FA, FAJ, D FA or DA) is mounted and the built-in flash is
used, the shutter speed is fixed at 1/180 and the flash always fires 
at full
power (see page 147 of the manual).  Yikes!  Seems like a little bit 
of a
limitation, doesn't it?

Does the *ist-D have this limitation?
