Paul, So what kind of bracket do you use? I currently have been using a Stroboframe Pro RT. This allows the flash to be flipped for verticals. I can't see how a potato masher could be hooked up to it. Bruce Thursday, April 3, 2003, 10:45:05 AM, you wrote: PS> I don't know who made the Sof

I don't know who made the Sof'Shoulder. It's at least 25 years old, and it may not be available any more. I think most of the AF400T units do have the fully rotating head. But ask before you buy. When shooting with the flash pointing forward, I generally use a bracket that places it above the camer

Paul, Sounds like I would have to know if it could swivel 180 degrees. Who makes the Sof'Shoulder? Have you considered any issue with using it to the side of the camera? Always a concern for side shadows. That is probaby my biggest concern at this point. Bruce Thursday, April 3, 2003, 10:0

I use it on a reflector umbrella called the Sof'Shoulder. The flash points to the rear and fires into the umbrella. Unfortunately, I can only use it manually with this type of setup, since I have the early AF400T that won't rotate a full 180 degrees. (I use a flashmeter.) However, with the later mo

Paul, Very good information. I would be using this mostly for wedding work for flash fill in daytime and main lighting during evenings for the candids. I have typically used a flash bracket an Lumiquest Softbox to keep the redeye out and shadows out of the way. Do you have your AF400T on the st

Hi Bruce, I don't have the 500FTZ, but I use the AF400T regularly with my 6x7. I frequently use it with a Sof'Shoulder reflector umbrella for portraits. I have to turn the power down to 1/4 to get as wide as f11 with ISO 400 film, so it certainly has plenty of punch. I use it with the Quantum batte

What about one of the Metz handle flashes? I love my 45CT-4, it has PLENTY of power, and the auto (non-TTL) modes are pretty much spot on. Only downside is that it does tend to eat AA batteries. I really need to hunt down some of the NiCD packs and a charger for it. -Mat Bruce Dayton wrote: > >

Jostein, Thanks for the info. As near as I can tell, the 400T has a GN of 40 at an effective coverage of 28mm. My manual for the 360FGZ says that it has a GN of 36 when zoomed to 85mm coverage, GN 30 at 50mm and GN 22 at 28mm. Based on that, it seems that the 400T actually has about twice the po

Got some experience with the two Pentax flashes on a Z-1, Bruce. the 500FTZ has more power than the 400T. However, I prefer the 400 for macro work, because it can quench the burst much faster that the 500 can. At 1:1 with a FA100/2.8 macro, the 500FTZ gives just too much, even on the widest zoom se
