Paul, those are questions I have asked myself also. I have not had the opportunity to test what appears to be a very interesting feature on the LX: multiple flash (2) without costly accessories like the multi-flash distributor and a bunch of cables.
If the AF400T, plugged on the body socket, is directed at the side of the subject and the hot-shoe fit AF200T (or AF280T) directed at the front of the subject AND both are at the SAME DISTANCE, how does light is managed by the LX TTL metering system ? If AF200T is on MANUAL (1/4 of power or less) for smaller fill-in, will TTL metering compute its light before cutting the AF400T's light ? Has anybody tried this 2-flash setting on the LX ?
