Thanks, Godfrey. That's pretty impressive with a built in flash. Today, I finally got around to figuring out how to fire the AF-360 wirelessly with any old flash gun. Which means I can put the old Vivitar on the 645, point it where ever, and have the 360 illuminate the subject. And that's just coolio. -- Scott Loveless New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, USA http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
