Subject: Re: External flash for *ist D?
Jens, Thanks for your comments. The reason for all the "fuzz" is that my Metz 45CL-4 with SCA 372 produces inconsistent exposures with the *ist D, but not with my LX or Super A. I want a set-up that is as consistent with the *ist D as it is with my film cameras.
Ferget TTL with the istD and use your Metz in auto. It will be easily as accurate, and gives you off camera flash, which I don't believe Pentax has a good digital flash option for at the moment. TTL is good if you have a crappy flash with an innacurate sensor, your Metz has a 2ยบ sensor that is calibrated to within 1/10th of a stop. I fought with TTL with my istD for a year before deciding it just wasn't accurate, and yes, I did clean the contacts on several occassions.
