Now if you want decent TTL, and mediocre fill flash (only -1.7 under) the R7 is a very good camera. But as far as fill flash goes, the R8 is as good as anything else. The R7 is quite rudimentary. And it doesn't have 1/250 flash. Only the R8 (plus a built-in flash meter). The R6, with some fancy tweaking, can do even better, but it would be a rather complicated setup, using the film speed dial and a lot of mental calculations. ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO One should never generalize.
