Chris, for some people, using flash with the M systems is anti-thesis to the whole philosophy. You even have a better M than an M in this aspect - with your R-D1, you can switch ISO on the fly, and the pictures quality even at ISO 1600 is quite decent, but you know that. What I am getting at is that shoot w/ your R-D1 for a while. Use your 28/2 and get as close as possible. You may never look at a flash again. (except for fill flashing etc. but then the M or R-D1 in auto mode is really not built for that) At 09:10 AM 1/29/2005, Christopher Driggett wrote: >I am looking for a non ttl flash for my R-D1.
