AFAIK the 400FTZ _does have_ a zoom head, as the Z letter in the FTZ
code implies.
Zoom head in flash means just that: that you can make the beam of
light wider or narrow, by pushing/pulling the head, or by means of a
button (if it's motorized zoom). OTOH, non-zoom flash emits always a
fixed beam

In my very honest opinion, I think nest shooting is a bad thing to

are disturbed by human presence. To shoot with flash will make it

gives a sense of space like a really wide angle shot with lots of clouds
and sky. sometimes, i will crop top and bottom to get just the wide shot.

My 50's are collecting dust. I always use 35mm primes on my LX or ESII
Pentaxes. I read about using a 35mm as a normal lens and found that I

Revenge today. I scored a new one in the box, with a case for $42.
This item is dis

Maybe you didn't use any filtration? And a 645 negative doesn't have to be
enlarged much to get a 5x7 print. Other than that - I don't know.
Just my two cents.

I do it all the time. Either on a Stroboframe bracket or on a
lightstand. Also in multiples (up to 3 of them), TTL still works like

pushing the illuminator button the body triggers the modeling mode on
the flashes.

I used to use my Yahoo/Geocities account for this, but their recent
limitations on bandwidth means that they're now useless for hosting eBay

hundred megs of photos at a time and allow enough bandwidth for the amount
