Hi,
This is my first post - I have searched this forum but I cant find definitive answers to the following:
I am about to sell my Nikon kit to downsize to a GF1. I find my SB800 flash is great in full Auto mode and so a good easy to use flash is a must with the GF1.
I have a short list as follows:
Olympus FL-36R (I can get it cheaper than the DWM-FL360)
Metz 48-AF1
Metz 36-AF4
But none of the above seem ideal, based on some research I have found the following issues with each of the flashes on my shortlist:
The FL-36R is slow to recycle
The Metz 48-AF1 is looks too big/unwieldy for the GF1.
The 36-AF4 is a bit underpowered.
Can anyone please comment on the above points - either to agree or disagree?
Also, I am confused about the compatibility of the SB800 with the GF1. I have read in a few places that the SB800 works ok with the GF1 - but not sure if this is with full TTL or does it require manual settings etc. I dont understand enough to make manual flash adjustment etc.
Thanks in advance!
