BTW: Remember that these are all manual flash units that you trigger with their built-in slave. You cannot use a P-TTL flash to trigger them in P-TTL mode ... the pre-flash will fool the slave receivers. So if you have an AF-FGZ series flash, it has to be put into manual output mode (if that's possible) or you have to use a simple external flash as a trigger. That's one of the reasons I bought the Nikon SB-30. It's tiny, light, and has a built-in IR flash shield so it can be used purely as a trigger. You have to set exposure 100% manually. Easy enough to do with a flash meter or using the histogram on review or digital preview. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
