Hi Douglas,
thanks for your input. It has always been basics for me (except for the
short venture with my F90x and SB28). Metz flashes have extremely good
thristors. They give you more reliable exsposures than primitve TTL cameras
(like my Nikon FA, or a Leica R5 I guess).

Hi Philippe,
thanks for your experience with the SCA 3501. And with the A mode I was
reffering to the flash A mode.
