How about you research the LUG archives and point out to us where I indicated that I'm "worrying about the 'film-vs.-digital' issue"? The fact is that there are people using film, there are people using digital, some use both and some have used one and not the other. From the perspective of many people on this list TTL flash on a digital camera is unfamiliar. The camera and flash makers had to work around the sensor reflectance issue before TTL flash would work reliably.
