And you lose effective flash power because the flash has to spread its capacitor's charge out over several pulses instead of just one. And the times high shutter speed flash is important to me are in bright outdoor conditions - when I need every bit of flash power I can get to overcome the ambient lighting. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
