Well, that's not exactly right, what you say Mike. I have AF220T and it gives "ready" indication in the viewfinder. Also I cannot set a shutter speed to faster than X-sync even in manual mode. So dedication is preserved. However since the flash has no modes except TTL, I set my camera to manual mode and fire it away. It always fires at full power and I have to set aperture *manually* to get proper exposure. Otherwise, it works, whatever "works" may mean in this context.
