RTF is mostly useless for serious work. But wireless flash command is a very nice function, which makes RTF's useful for something for serious shooters. Personally, I'm not worried either way about whether or not the K10D will command, as the AF360FGZ is a master, unlike the equivalent flashes from Nikon and Canon, and costs roughly the same as Nikon and Canon's wireless commander widgets (SU-800 and ST-E2). I'll want one anyways for my K100D, should I decide to invest in a wireless setup (which is quite likely). -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
