I have to upgrade my Flash units, but I figured I'd do a little testing
just to see how badly this has to be done. So I pop a AF280T onto the
K20D set the camera to [Green] at ISO 200, then set the Flash to the
green range. The camera sets the proper f stop. Nice, at least some
of the automation works. Take a test shot, horrible over exposure, not
good. Try the red range... Horrible underexposure, damn, this thing
was working only a couple of weeks ago. Put said unit on the *ist-Ds
ISO 400 TTL mode, exposure is more than acceptable. WTF? Set the
*ist-Ds to 200 ISO and the flash to the Green Range, same results as
with the K20D. Damn I don't think I've ever used this flash off TTL or
Manual, same with the other AF240T... So I drag that unit into the
test, yep works fine in all modes on the *ist-Ds, gives good exposures
on both red and green ranges with the K20D. I've had a Bad flash for
years and never knew it! Damn that hoovers. My backup flash only works
on my backup camera(s).
