I don't have any of the other flashes (besides the AF280T) being discussed here, but I've used the AF280T with my DS several times now, and the results have been quite good (although not perfect). Based on previous threads, I used the AF280T set up for TTL Auto mode with the DS's ASA setting at 400. I would say that the results were not quite as consistent as when using the AF280T with a Super A or an LX, but the inconsistencies were generally minor, and could easily be compensated for in digital processing if necessary (usually, the differences were small enough to not even bother with). [I also have an AF200T and an AF400T, but I haven't tried using either yet with the DS, but I suspect that the results would be similar to those from the AF280T.] [I haven't really used the DS's built-in flash yet.] Fred
