Hi, Vic
>Question #1: The 280T gives you TTL as good as any. You will of course loose the autozoom too...:-) >Question #2: Synch chord is OK. >Question #3: It doesn't work very well to combine analogue and digital flashes. The camera will try to sense what kind of flash that is mounted to it, but if it finds one of each, it gets confused. Tried it out with a 500FTZ and a 400T on a Z-1. >Question #4: what happens if you use the AF500FTZ on the LX. If it won't work why check if it fries anything? Have never had the nerve to try it myself... :-) HTH, Jostein .
