As for filters, it's fairly uncomplicated to open up for a filter factor, or tape a similar filter over the flash sensor. The multi-aperture point is well taken; however the Vivitar 283-285 offer 4 selections which I've never found wanting. My Sunpak 383 has three, and the missing one, in the middle, is always the one I want. TTL lets you choose infinite apertures, and that's an advantage to be sure. If the bulk of my photography were made with flash, I would surely want a TTL flash-capable camera. ( But *not* an M6TTL. For my money I'd want something with at least 1/250 flash sync.)
