I have no use for TTL flash, the recycle time is to slow. I always use Automatic setting and the reason is I shoot a lot of corporate events, receptions, etc, with Nikon F3HP (which has the TTL feature). It drives me nuts waiting for the recycle. I used to use the monster Metz (the one with 6AA's in handle) which was fine, but now the best flash I have ever used is the Nikon SB28. love the zoom feature from 20mm to 85mm. BUT the really BIG feature for me is with both flashes, set on Automatic, I can fire off 3 36 exp. rolls continously on motor drive with no interuption in flash. Using 'Automatic' instead of TTL for me is a no-brainer. Also I mount the SB28 on a L bracket and the camera balance is perfect. Steve Annapolis
