The only real advantage to modern flash systems is wireless TTL flash with multiple units. And only Nikon has really nailed that, with CLS/i-TTL. Canon has the multiple flash groups, but otherwise is worse than Pentax if anything. Not sure about Sony/Minolta, although I know they've had wireless TTL forever. I prefer manual or auto flash for most situations. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
