[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I've been doing some googling on the SB-30 flash: http://www.bythom.com/sb30.htm http://www.nikon-image.com/eng/news_release/2002/sb-30_main.htm http://www.dpreview.com/news/0202/02022102nikonspeedlights.asp The one problem is the GN is a pitiful 16 meters / 52 feet. :-( But I guess it's OK for a tiny flash. What's nice is that it does have auto-thyristor flash capabilities. So it should work fine with the M at < sync speeds. The other problem is that the chart on the back of the camera (see the DP review page) has only guides for ISO 100 and 400. So you have to calculate the rest in your head (ok, I know it's not tough, but some of us are lazy). Oddly it allows for exposure compensation for auto flash. Hmm. Negatives: * Takes a CR-123 lithium (like the Leica SF-20) Our friends at B&H have it for $85. Karen - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
