RE: *ist (35mm) custom functions & 360FGZ flash

I don't have my 360 here at the moment so I can't actually test this but; If I remember correctly CF9 causes the "Flash Pop Up Button" to behave in 3 different ways, not the flash itself. IOW the flash button can disable, fire once, or fire for modeling, the flash when it is pushed in wireless mode

RE: *ist (35mm) custom functions & 360FGZ flash

Don, You're an absolute genius I feel so lame. I now understand it. The CF9 function actually controls the "pop up flash button" which in turn wirelessly controls the 360FGZ. It's like using the camera as a wireless control module with a studio flash so you don't have to walk across the

Re: *ist 35mm

Hi! The two chassis are not the same size, and share no common parts. What we are seeing is a "family resemblance". As another example, I noticed the other day that a particular Ford automobile seemed to have the same general nose shape as an F150 truck, although there would be no common body pa

Re: ist 35mm

i have a ZX-5n and an *ist. i miss the power zoom and the slightly better viewfinder on ZX-5n. otherwise, i prefer the *ist. if the ZX-5n had mirror lockup, i think it would make the race closer. however, the ZX-5n is a very functional camera and is capable of doing a fine job with taking a picture

I think the question was about the *ist film camera. I haven't played with one, but I did recently pick up an MZ-5n (ZX-5n). The advantages to the MZ/ZX-5n would be its compatability with all K-mount (and screwmount) lenses and its classical interface, much like an autofocus combo between the M
