I used the 500 this past weekend, on a bracket in Contrast-Control mode, with the *ist D (to take a series of "mug shots"). Quite good results. Also in regular mode, not contrast-control, to photograph a group. I'd had some appalling results in the past, which experimentation proved to be the result of not-quite-tight-enough connections between the various off- camera adapters and cables. But now I'm happy with the combination. ERNR
