To put some numbers on it: the Metz 48 AF-1 has a GN of 35 at 50mm-e @ ISO 100, but in HSS mode, only 15. That means about 80% of the power is lost. -- Matthew Miller [email protected] <http://mattdm.org/> The Definitive Pentax P-TTL Flash Model Guide: <http://pttl.mattdm.org/> -- 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.
