I have been using this flash on the MZ-S and I'm very happy with the results. I especially like the using the flash close to my subjects and bouncing the flash straight up with the catchlight panel. This produces some really pleasing soft results that barely seem like flash photos: http://www.members.aol.com/bmacrae/family.jpg (MZ-S, FA 24-90mm zoom, Aperture Priority, probably f5.6) I used the flash recently via the hot shoe grip on the 67II with Porta 400 and it also performed very well. One strange thing however is that the coverage angles in 67 mode do not match most actual 67 lens focal lengths. The manual states to use a smaller angle per the focal length of the lens. So, I used the 120 setting when shooting with the 165mm f2.8 lens. It worked just fine. The wide angle panel is also nice and I've tested it with my 20mm f2.8 and it does cover the frame. A very nice flash all around. Recycle time was never an issue. It will be interesting to see how well it performs with the power pack when it comes out. -Brendan MacRae __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
