RE: Using two AF500FTZ's
If you use the right leads and a Pentax flash distributor, it should be possible to hook up 2x500FTZ's to any digital TTL camera (i.e. Z-1 etc). all you need is the bits and pieces. cheers Shaun Canning PhD Student Department of Archaeology School of European and Historical Studies La Trobe University, Bundoora, Vic, 3086.

I would like to hear from those of you who have (or have heard of) experience in this. I am particularly interested in the concept of hooking up both AF500FTZ's to the camera in TTL mode. How might this be done. I have some ideas but would like to hear yours. I know the PZ-1p will do contrast control with an AF500FTZ and the onboard flash, but what about two flash units. All input is welcome. Thanks in advance, Glen O'Neal

but who's in control of the lighting? You or the flashes? -Original Message- From: Shaun Canning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 1:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Using two AF500FTZ's If you use the right leads and a Pentax flash distributor, it should be possible to hook up 2x500FTZ's to any digital TTL camera (i.e. Z-1 etc). all you need is the bits and pieces. cheers Shaun Canning PhD Student Department of Archaeology School of European and Historical Studies La Trobe University, Bundoora, Vic, 3086.
