And all in one breath!:) I take it I can't change this myself. Too bad. I'm sure I'll get it eventually, but right now I want it right in my hands for shooting. :-) >Flash?=A0 I use the Metz 40 Mz2, but I understand there is a 50 Mz2,3? some I figured Metz was going to be it. I assume Vivitar and Sunpak don't have the right adapters for the R8 to get all it's flash functions. Oh well, I like Metz, anyway, but I've already forked out enough money! :-) Guess I'll use the company Lumedynes for a while and use the R8's built in flash meter. >I try to be serious, not often, I set the camera on "T" turn on the 3501 >adapter and cut the output to however I feel it should be balanced for best >effect inrelation to the subject. That's normally how I do fill flash with my current setup (which is selling fast!). Glad the R8's fill flash is more flexible than the R7.=20 Thanks. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Seek the wisdom of the ages, but look at the world through the eyes of a=20 child.
