While I do not do wedding photgraphy what I shoot is similiar, large groups of people mingling around. I would only like to comment that I never use the TTL feature because it is simply too slow on the recycle. Without the TTL I can use the motor drive shooting say 2 frames per second and the Metz keeps up, on TTL there is a several second gap between each shot while it recycles. Try setting the aperture on the Metz at say F8 (that automatically puts it on the Automatic mode) set the film speed and match the settings on the camera to those on the Metz. Your flash results will be equal to the TTL mode. Steve Annapolis - ---------- > > > >>At 11:26 PM 5/11/00 -0400, David E.
