Bucky,
The only gear I have from the above list is the 500FTZ Flash. I'm quite
happy with this unit because it meets my flash shooting requirements even
though I'm don't shoot with one often.
Anyway, straight from the manual, herewith is a brief description of it's
features and capabilities.
a) TTL Auto Flash System
b) Guide # of 50 (ISO 100 at 85mm setting)
C) Tilts vertically 90 degrees and 180 degrees horizontally
d) Built-in spotbeam projector
e) Six levels of manual output control
f) LCD guide panel
g) Auto Zoom Function which adjust the angle of discharge between 24mm and
85mm according to the focal lenght of the lens in use.
h) Slave flash Function
i) trailing-shutter-curtains-sync flash
j) bounce flash
k) contrast-control flash when combined with the RTF
>From my personal experience, this flash doesn't use a lot of juice,
relatively speaking, and has a quick recycle time especially when used with
the TR-Power Pack 2. So I'd definitely recommend it with the supplemental
power source.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
P. Ernest
