I use this a lot, with good results. One can use flash at speeds other than 1/250th in Aperture priority mode, but not with TTL. I use a flash sync cord to trigger a pre metered or manual flash. With the sync cord, the camera doesn't know the flash is there! :-) Rick. On 09/10/2006, at 9:50 PM, Eric Korenman wrote: > with my metz flash it does seem to work well. > Am I the only one?
