Pre-flash metering really has problems when I am doing wedding and portrait work. When you get a blinker, they really tend to blink right after the pre-flash causing many shots of eyes not fully open. While it technically works well, people don't handle it very well. A very mixed bag in my opinion.
This is my biggest gripe with the Sigma EF 500 DG Super (and perhaps many other flashes): - I wish I could switch it to "plain old TTL". My daughter is a "blinker" and it's ruined many an otherwise-great photo opportunity with her.
Is there an otherwise-intelligent flash out there with such an option available? Or is it time to pull out the old "automatic" Vivitar and play it old-school with manual F-stops and shutter speeds and letting the flash alone determine exposure?
