Re: wide - Was OT: (Somewhat)
Unfortunately true, which is why I lately acquired a 280T, and am shopping for a wide angle adapter.Since I have a 330ftz, I have usually tried to arrange things so the superprogram with the 24-50 handled available light work, and ran the ring light, while the ZX-5 flashed with the 330FTZ, but alas I am trapped at 28mm.

Which of course is why I have a 330Ftz, 'cause it doesn't.It's been around 10 years and could use a face lift.

Re: wide - Was OT: (Somewhat)
I agree on the wides. The 'default' lense on my super program is a 24-50 SMC-A. 'cause I really like it. What is missing though are flash units wide enough to suit me. Most of the flash units don't go wider than 28 without some help which is probably why most of the 'consumer' zooms start at 28 as well. I noticed that a new flash unit was announced at photokina along with the MZ-S along with the 24-90 zoom.I'm really hoping the driving reason for a 'new flash' is one that goes wider How about a power zoom flash that zoomed the range of 24-90? Maybe some flash powder in a pan and I can light up for my 15mm WA as well.If you like the 20mm WA you would really like the 15mm WA. The trend has been wider and wider for 30 years. It was 30 years ago that a WA was 35mm -- so I bought a 28. Then really 28 became the standard WA --- and I want a 24. Now I think we are on the brink of recognizing that the 24 is a 'standard' WA. We have the 24 F2 prime which few owners seem willing to part with, and we see the new zoom coming out starting at 24 which is really a 'normal zoom' and not a speciality WA zoom, as it zooms through 50mm and beyond. The missing link is a 24-?? FTZ flash unit--with perhaps eventually all the FTZ flash units upgraded to start at 24mm. This would give us an excuse to dump all of our 28-to whatever zooms on ebay and buy new. tom wrote: > BTW, I like wides. My favorite lens is a 20-35.
