I tried it with my Leica and it worked. In fact, you can use shutter speeds lower than 1/125 too, in manual mode, you don't _have_ to use 1/250 for flash synch. Kyle, you were talking about the R8, right? Please tell me I'm not making an a**hole of myself here. ;-) Regards, ===== Ray "The trouble with resisting temptation is you never know when you'll get another chance!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
