With this flash being mentioned in a few recent posts, I remembered a question I have about my use of this flash. I recently got the wide-angle and tele adapters for the flash head, and my query is: Are the adapters useful or necessary when bouncing the flash, or only when using direct flash? It seems bouncing the flash spreads it out anyway, so would the wide angle adapter be redundant in that situation (or even cut down on the overall light output)? And does narrowing the flash beam with the tele adapter matter once it bounces off a ceiling? Also, a question about using fill flash with this flash and a Super Program -- since the Super Program can't adjust flash exposure independently of ambient exposure, one way to play with adjusting the ambient light in the photo would be to slow down the shutter speed. But the flash causes the camera to select the synch speed, and the shutter speed then can't be changed (even with the camera in manual)! The one way around this is to switch the flash to all manual, which doesn't send the flash-ready signal to the camera, and thus not setting the shutter speed, but then I lose TTL and auto flash exposure options. Is this an accurate picture (pun intended?) of the capabilities of flash compensation with this flash and the Super Program?
