Re[2]: Wireless flash and off camera clips, grips, pips, tips, salsa dips

No TTL that way.  You must manually set flash output and probably
meter manually.  Also need to take into account the popup flash on the
MZ-5n.

If you want off camera flash and TTL, you are going to need cords and
connectors from Pentax.

 Mike, Matjaz, Michel,

 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just thought of something- because the
 mz5n
 hasn't got wireless TTL with the af360fgz, am I right to say that to
 fix up
 all the connections to have a remote flash (wired) I'd probably need the
 Pentax labelled bits anyway if I wanted to use remote TTL?

 The MZ5n has not wireless flash, but AF360FGZ con work as slave flash
 with all bodies (use channel 2)
MCG Use mode slave 2, not channel 2.

I also am very interested in this use of slave flash.  I would have expected
the TTL functions to operate normally on the camera for not only the onboard
or external mounted flash but also for the slave flash.  If you set the
slave for less then you expect to need  1/16 etc, then the on camera flash
would make up the difference wouldn't it?  It would read the total provided
light from both flashes via TTL and provide the necessary amount on the on
camera flash to provide correct exposure.

I'm not saying I know this to be true, but rather pose this as a question.
