It is counter-intuitive. It's kind of like a very

I don't see why not; the LC-4 is simply an alternate shutter release

First I meant 420ex not 430. From what people have said and from calling
Canon it seems that in AV and TV mode the flash is basically just a fill

Hi Ken,
Not sure why you would need spot metering specifically for macro (I
shoot tons of macro under available light and use CW with compensation
for my best results).
Anyway, I often use an incident meter, most often in the studio, but it

I use an external meter when doing studio work. In that situation it's used

It comes from the marketing guys. It is, and it remains, spin. That
