And as to your complaint about not wanting the camera to tell you how to balance the foreground flash and background available light - all the higher-end cameras and flash units allow for a multitude of adjustments and balancing acts by the photographer. If you're happy with simple TTL flash, that's fine. But don't suggest that it is what it isn't.:-) B.

What exactly do you find lacking with respect to the R8 (and presumedly R9) flash capability? The flash metering feature is very nice and not, to my knowledge, on any Nikon or Canon camera. The TTL flash metering works in a normal way but requires dedicated modules, as do the Nikon and Canon equivalents. - -- Rolfe Tessem rolfe@ldp.com Lucky Duck Productions, Inc. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
