I could never justify the expense of the dedicated leads, so used manual flash and a sync cord, but the cheap one from Poland works a treat. I am going to cut it in half and put a couple of connectors on it so that I can extend it for studio style shots. Once the flash is off camera, though, you wonder why the lead isn't in every camera box sold. Dal |

Incidentally as in your initial setup with the Cosina 100mm/3.5 macro lens, I found I could use the onboard flash well diffused and reduced level and got excellent results with that. I'm going to check out Blackpool zoo to see if they have a butterfly house or anything similar, I haven't been there for a long while, and it's a fairly short trip for me. ... Jack. |

Yes, with the Vivitar 100mm/3.5 I could use the onboard flash, and the sigma on the hotshoe. However, I bought a 90mm/2.8 which goes 1:1 natively and even with the Sigma on the hotshoe, I got a shadow. Hence the need for leads. I got lazy calculating the manual exposure with this lens as it is a k-mount, and prefer P-TTL flash as sometimes you only get one shot. If you Google "butterfly house in blackpool" there seems to be a couple in that area. Dal |
