AFAIK, no camera will give you TTL on B. After all, the whole
concept of the B setting is to override every attempt from the
camera to electronically control the shutter. It stays open as
long as you say so...
The trick of putting LX on Auto and manually firing the flash is
an excellent
With flash you can go as slow as you like. :-)
But TTL will not work unless you have the LX on Auto.
The trick to include ambient light is to put the flash to manual,
and leave the LX on auto. Then you decide how much flash you want,
and let the LX decide how much ambient light is needed in

Yeah, but TTL-flash mode tells the flash when to shut off,

Hi, Jeff.
Congrats on your LX. It's _the_ camera for night shots.
The TTL will not work on Bulb setting. You'll need to use the LX
on Auto for that.
Floodlights are usually high-pressure sodium lamps. They emit a
rather narrow spectrum which produce an orange/grittybrown/yellow
cast. Colour
Note also that there's much difference between the old type sodium
lamps and the newer high-pressure vapour ones.
The older type emits light on only two distinct wavelengths, both
in the orange part of the spectrum, and can for all practical
purposes be considered a monochrome lightsource.
Thanks for the input on the flood lights. I had a feeling that they were not
going to be any true color temp and should have said so in my original
posting. I am going to shot it and see what happens once it gets a bit
warmer. The orange may look good? Never know till I try. :-)

If the TTL will not control the flash just how slow can you go with the
manual settings? Or does it literally have to be on automatic for the TTL
to work at all? (which makes sense now that I think
You can expect orange. If these are the common sodium vapor lamps I suspect
they are, they emit a line spectra and therefore the concept of color
temperature cannot be used. There may, for example, be _no_ blue at all to
be had. Color temperature can only be used to describe the spectrum emitted
