Last night I was talking with the co-owner of my favorite local photo lab and he was telling me about his problems trying to get his 67-II to wirk with a leaf shutter lens and TTL flash metering. He (and, apparently, Pentax) says it can't be done. The primary reason is obviously that the flash wants to fire as soon as the focal plane shutter opens, at which point the leaf shutter is closed. I believe there's a PC flash connector on the lens itself, but of course this provides triggering only (in other words, it has only ground and one electrical contact rather than the multiple contacts of the hot shoe which send TTL metering information to the flash.
Could a PC flash cable from the lens be spliced into the hot shoe wiring to solve this? Any 67 users dealt with this? -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
