Vic, I use the hot shoe grip with the AF500FTZ and my 645n. I have the 5p cord run from the flash to the hot shoe on the 645n via a Hot Shoe Adapter F and all functions work. I just ignore the contacts and plugs on the grip, the adapters take care of the TTL and stuff. All this also works with my PZ-1p.
If you need more details on how I use it just let me know.

I picked up AF 280t recently. I plan to use it primarily with the LX but I will also be using it with the PZ1. Question #1: Is the only function lost when using the Af 280t on the PZ1 the ability to focus in the dark (ie red sensor)? Question #2: If I use the hotshoe grip with 4P sync cord B and the 280t (plugged into hotshoe of PZ1, will I retain all the TTL functions accept, of course, the autofocus in dim light (ie red sensor.) Question #3: Can I use the hotshoe grip for the Af280t with the AF500FTZ on the PZ1 to get the flash off camera. I realize that I would lose the autofocus in dim light. Question #4: what happens if you use the AF500FTZ on the LX. Will it just not work or do you risk damaging the electronics in the camera or flash. Thanks Vic
