Gremlins come in threes, it seems. Went to nephew's birthday party: 1) My 28-80mm zoom lens was frozen at 50mm. Dang, switch to the 85mm. 2) My Sigma flash decided not to fire - everything looked normal, but just didn't fire. Then it just sat there blinking. Dirty contacts? Dud battery? No time to figure it out. Off it came. 3) The flash select and exposure lock buttons on my ZX-7 decided not to work. Camera insisted on popping up the RTF for every shot, and I had to adjust the exposures manually to compensate for strong backlight.
So remember to give everything in the bag a workout before going out. Cheers, Mike
