One of the best features of the SF/PZ series of bodies
was the offset flash shoe. Many, many times I have
bounced the external flash and used the built-in flash
for fill (their "contrast control flash" feature). It
also put the subject's shadow from a direct external
flash in the same appealing position whether one was
holding the camera horizontally or vertically.
I don't understand why they followed the crowd and
moved the flash head to the top of the prism.
