Re: An introduction and the 360 FGZ flash

2003-02-27 Thread Steve Desjardins
Welcome.  And feel free to ramble at will.  I think the FGZ 360 will
work just fine, although they might come out with a more powerful
version.  I suspect, however that Pentax might continue this trend of
putting the nifty flash features in the flash and not the body.

I'm sure their will be other opinions on this, however.

I want to purchase the 360 FGZ flash and wondering if this flash

work on the new digital SLR. I will wait if  Pentax is going to 
produce a
flash for the digital SLR and that way it may be backwards compatible 
to the
Mz6 and I won't have to purchase a new flash when I get a digital SLR. 
Maybe
I'm trying to cover to many bases.
I am almost sure it will. Since it is impossible to implement real TTL 
flash exposure control, new DSLR must used preflash for metering, and 
that's what P-TTL was created for (I suspect it was primarily created 
exlusively for MZ-D, and then adopted for ongoing bodies).
