Hi, Using my AF280T on my LX, I notice that there's no way to combine auto/TTL functions with slow speeds. The camera always switches to the flash sync speed, and I don't find a way to override this.
I can use my Spotmatic or ES combined with the same flash in auto mode to get slow speeds with flash, but it's a pity I cannot do so with the advanced metering (especially in low light) of my LX. I guess I could use any non-Pentax automatic flash to do the same on the LX, in a way 'fooling' the LX in thinking there's no flash on. But then there's the question of compatibility: the LX should at least properly sync with the flash! Any advices on what type of flash I could be looking for (preferrably a cheapish model on the second hand market)? Goeten, Vic PS. my wife will by buying a Canon DSLR shortly (don't know which model yet) --- maybe an opportunity to find a Canon flash that would both work on the DSLR and on the LX ? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
