Crippled or not. If the new 10 MP Pentax body doesn't support ordenary TTL flash, I won't be buying it. I have too many flashes - I guess 7 or 8 TTL flahses, one of which is a Metz 60-CT2. Regards Jens

I think of it as a crippled flash interface. ... I understand your disappointment; it is one of the reasons I prefer the DS body. However, for the newcomer to SLR cameras who is going to buy new flash equipment along with body and lens, I imagine it isn't even a consideration. "Crippled" is kind of a strong word ... If you bought a DL and the appropriate AF360FGZ (or Sigma EF 500 DG Super) flash unit, the system is anything but crippled. For my own use, although I prefer to have the potential capability in the DS body, I don't own any dedicated flash unit. I use a generic, inexpensive Sunpak 383 and a couple of Paterson ELite flash panels. The Sunpak has its own exposure metering and does a great job with flash metering, beyond that I use a flash meter to measure things and set the ISO/aperture/exposure time accordingly. A different way of working with flash, yes. One of these days I'll get a dedicated flash unit too, I imagine. I just haven't seen the need as yet. Godfrey -- No virus found in this incoming message.
