Because the dial is larger and more easily manipulated with the camera at eye level, they felt this change would make operation more fluid. Not having a TTL (yet) I can't say if they were right or wrong, but I do know that changing the shutter speed of my classics with the camera at my eye does feel a bit counter-intuitive and fiddly. >> I had the same problem with the non-TTL, plus the difficulty in getting the two LED's to match in any kind of hurry. Although I preferred the handling of the non-TTL overall, and the release travel seemed shorter than on the TTL, the TTL does work better in the metering department, in the respects you mention. Once the adjustments to the operation of the TTL are made by the non-TTL user, it seems more efficient. I use a Nikon soft release with the TTL. Not bad. Joe Sobel
